Description
Brian Herne's White Hunters: The Golden Age of African Safaris is a story of adventure and romance that spans seventy years of East Africa. The region has a profound effect on our imagination, with the sight of a charging rhino striking at the heart, and its limitless landscape of highlands, desert, and mountain evoking a sense of unequalled nobility. This book re-creates the legendary big-game safaris led by Selous and Bell, as well as the daring ventures into unexplored territories. It brings to life figures such as Cape-to-Cairo Grogan, who walked 4,000 miles for love, and Denys Finch, a dashing lover of Dinesen's. These hunters were among the first conservationists, driven by a passion for wildlife and a willingness to take risks. Their stories inspired writers like Ernest Hemingway, whose tales of big-game hunting have become iconic in popular culture. This book offers a unique glimpse into the lives of these pioneering hunters, who embodied a hard-drinking, infatuated spirit that continues to appeal to readers today.
