The conclusion of World War II ushered in a new sporting era with the game animals of Africa. Many more sportsmen than ever before decided to make a safari. Greater significance has been attached to photography, some hunters being more interested in a record on film, transparencies or prints, than heads for the trophy room. A new group of white hunters have organised their expeditions. Don Ker, an old hand, re-entered his chosen profession after his discharge from the British Army, to become the doyen of African guides. From his large collection of photographs were chosen some of the greatest and most unusual ever made to illustrate this book.
Part 1 deals with Ker's most amazing and exciting incidents, featuring encounters with the "big five". In addition, one chapter deals with choice of weapons and another is a review of the game situation.
Part II is devoted to all the game animals, with many a clue as to where they can be found and how the can best be shot with rifle or camera.
