Publisher's note: 'Among the cast of characters that played a part in the growth of big game hunting in Central (and East) Africa, Robert Montvoisin must be one of the stars. His involvement over an amazing sixty years (forty of them as a professional hunter) in eight countries (Central African Republic, Chad, Congo, Cameroon, Zambia, Tanzania, Kenya and Morocco) rivals the career of any African professional hunter. His hunting dates back to the time of legendary Micheletti and Bates and continued past the closing of Kenya when he went to Tanzania and Zambia. Montvoisin hunted in Kenya with the noted Laddy Wincza, in Zambia with the popular David Ommanney and in Tanzania in the noted Selous Reserve. Elephant, lion, leopard, buffalo, bongo and Lord Derby eland - from the forest galleries to savannas, lakes and deserts - he's seen them all and taken a host of top trophies for a worldwide clientele. His career as a PH is recognized as one of the most successful in modern times.' (https://www.trophyroombooks.com/pages/books/2253/robert-montvoisin/professional-hunter-along-the-roads-to-adventure)
