Editor's note: 'The post-war period has seen a startling transformation in the Keyan safari business. When the professional hunters and safari crew of the 1930's returned home from the war, they found a country in need of a pick me up. They provided it by attracting film stars, millionaires and adventurers to Kenya and helped  to kick-start its post war economy. In Sixty Years of Safaris, Miles Bredin recounts the change from hunting to photography, from utilitarian to luxurious, from months-long to walking safaris to week-long heli-safaris. It is a story full of glamour, fun and excitement, illustrated with a spectacular collection of photographs and told in the words of the men and women who made the safari business what it is today.'
