Good books?

I've been working on a work of fiction for the last few years. Takes place in Africa in the early 1900s. Stay tuned. I'll notify you all hear when I publish on Amazon/KDP
+ I adore reading everything about Africa, wild Africa. So, I'll keep an eye on the news. As for the topic, my favorites are White Hunters - by Brian Herne and Don't Be Afraid of Death - by Mark Sullivan.

I can't quite settle on a favorite; I read everything in sight, like a "bookworm", devouring one book after another.
 
Some slightly older literature.

F.C. Selous:
- A hunter's wanderings in Africa, being a narrative of nine years spent...
- Travel and Adventure in South-East Africa: Being the Narrative of the Last Eleven Years...
- Sport & Travel East and West
- Recent Hunting Trips in British North America

C.H. Stigand:
- To Abyssinia through an unknown land: an account of a journey ...
- Hunting the elephant in Africa: and other recollections ...
James Sutherland:
- The Adventures Of An Elephant Hunter
William Finaughty:
- The recollections of William Finaughty - elephant hunter

Roualeyn Gordon-Cumming:
- Five years of a hunter's life in the far interior of South Africa
William Cornwallis Harris:
- The wild sports in southern Africa
 
Any of the classic authors Capstick, Roosevelt. Hemingway, Bell, Ruark, are good reading. One by Peter Barrett is a personal favorite.

Newer books by Kevin Thomas, Kevin Robertson (look in addition to and beyond the perfect shot book!) Walt Prothero, Buzz Charltons book was a fun read.

Craig Boddington for the beginning africa hunters. I really liked Donald Donarski’s book which was a useful primer before my first trip.
Been meaning to jump into Sue Tidwell’s book when I finish the Cabelas book which is surprisingly good.

That’s off top of my head, there are libraries more to explore, lots of book reviews on this site as well

I have indeed analyzed my acquisitions, and I'll share what I bought in print after reading in electronic format. Perhaps this is my top list:
  1. "Out of Africa" by Isak Dinesen (Karen Blixen)​
  2. "The Man-Eaters of Tsavo" by John Henry Patterson​
  3. "Long Walk to Freedom" by Nelson Mandela​
  4. "The Elephant Whisperer" by Lawrence Anthony with Graham Spence​
  5. "Cry, the Beloved Country" by Alan Paton​
  6. "The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency" by Alexander McCall Smith​
So, I recommend these for reading.

Hello,

Am I reading your post correctly to say that the Tsavo rifle will be coming out with a composite stock later this year? I ask because I had been looking very hard for a Tsavo, but if there is going to be a composite stock model I will wait for that.

Thank you for your time,

Andrew

Saw your post. Nice. Denver too. Genesee area (just off 70) if ever up this way. Alternatively, do you have a membership at GGC? Whatever, you'll have a wonderful time in Africa. Enjoy.
