Awhile back someone asked for a list of what gear and food went along on a safari of bygone days. I cant find the post now but ive found a book from around 1910 that lists everything they took along, what all the natives did that they hired and lots of other logistics that other authors omit. The book is “IN AFRICA Hunting Adventures In Big Game Country” by John T. McCutcheon. The book is probably available as an ebook through your local library.
 
Could you give us a synopsis/outline?
 
Sorry but I already deleted the book.
 
Is it a worthwhile read? I see it’s available on my iPhone

I realize how hard the bug has bit. I’m on the cusp of safari #2 and I’m looking to plan #3 with my 11 year old a year from now while looking at my work schedule for overtime and computing the math of how many shifts are needed….

I'd like to get some too.

My wife (a biologist, like me) had to have a melanoma removed from her arm last fall.

Hallo Marius- do you have possibilities for stags in September during the roar? Where are your hunting areas in Romania?

I'm about ready to pull the trigger on another rifle but would love to see your rifle first, any way you could forward a pic or two?
Thanks,
