This was the first book Capstick wrote and the first of his books that I read. In it he talks about what he considers to be the most dangerous animals in Africa and some of his experiences dealing with them. Also included is his hilarious and hair-raising experience with a Black Mamba in a bush latrine.

After retiring as a professional hunter, Capstick returned to his old stomping grounds in 1985 with a photographer to document his safari and also to show readers a few of the places that were part of his earlier stories. This is definitely equal in quality to his other works with the added bonus of numerous color photographs.

While on safari in 1985, Capstick met Wally Johnson, and decided to write a book about his life. From Wally's attempts to repair a Model T in the African bush, to his nearly fatal snakebite, this one will keep you reading long past bedtime.
