Hemingway returned to the Dark Continent twenty years later in 1953 with his fourth wife. They travelled through the Belgian Congo, Rwanda, and Kenya. Once again, Hemingway exercised his skill as a hunter, and brought home many big game trophies. Hemingway’s persona as a fearless adventurer only increased when he suffered through two plane crashes on his second trip to Africa, prompting many news outlets to prematurely run his obituary.

The image of Hemingway as a great hunter and outdoors-man was only solidified through his trips to Africa. The trophies that he brought back from the hunts adorned his homes, and his writings about his travels helped to establish Hemingway’s reputation as one of the great hunters of his day.
 
With an additional article on the trial of Mau Mau General China.
