“Stunningly recreates that lost Eden of gallantry, endurance, and sudden death….Teddy
Roosevelt
, Winston Churchill, and the Prince of Wales all have cameos, but true nobility here lies with the big five: Elephant, Lion, Leopard,
Buffalo
, and Rhinoceros.”—

“A rich portrait of a magnificent landscape, its animal inhabitants and some of its most reckless human interlopers.” —
Publishers Weekly
“An authoritative and colorful study of African safaris that will appeal to armchair adventurers and history buffs alike.”—
Wall Street Journal
A little over 100 years ago, East Africa was terra incognita to most whites: a land largely unmapped, sparsely settled by Europeans, and teeming with wildlife. It was the hunter-adventurer's paradise, and by the early 20th century a small, lionhearted clan of explorers and big-game hunters began leading safaris there for money. They became the legendary White Hunters, men who led manifold adventurers in pursuit of the world's biggest, most dangerous, and most sought-after game.
White Hunters
is a nostalgic and densely-packed history of these men and their adventures, from the turn of the century until the 1970s, when politics, a growing population, civil strife, and concern about species destruction intervened.
