Synopsis

Join a seasoned hunter as he treks across the African veld, tracking elephants and lions by flashlight and rifle for a raw, front-row view of life in the wild.

This is the story behind the camera and the hunt, from close shaves to hard-won triumphs. In these pages, the author recounts grueling marches, scarce water, and the constant tension of stalking big game. Readers witness how endurance, skill, and a willingness to face danger shape every expedition, along with reflections on the ethics and costs of hunting and exploration in Africa.

  • First-person accounts of near-misses with elephants and lions in extreme conditions.
  • Close observations of animal behavior, movement, and the challenges of field photography.
  • Camp life, travel hardships, and the dynamics of a hunting caravan.
  • Moments of decision, marksmanship, and the thrill of a well-executed shot.
Ideal for readers who enjoy adventure memoirs, wildlife exploration, and historical perspectives on big-game hunting.
