I haven’t read any of Ruark’s Africa writing, but The Old Man and the Boy is phenomenal.

This is good incentive to add even more to the reading list!

With that recommendation, I’ve added The Old Man and the Boy to the list. Thanks, Lou.

If you haven't read “Green Hills of Africa” by Hemingway, you need to. You not only get to glimpse the way safaris were conducted, but the sheer volume of wildlife to be hunted. Also there is one edition that also contains his journal notes where you see the truth behind many of his short stories.

Thanks, Cameron. I’m going to read that and look for the journal notes version.
