I just finished Brian Herne’s book “White Hunters: The Golden Age of Safaris” last evening. I thoroughly enjoyed the timeline he presented and all the stories, anecdotes, and characters.

I would appreciate advice and suggestions for additional good reads for those times this summer at the end of the day when the heat wanes and one can relax and get lost in a good story.
 
I enjoyed, The Scramble For Africa, by T. Pakinham and The Lunatic Express by Miller. Their length is a bit intimidating but they read easily. They gave me a better sense of African history after focusing on reading so many hunting books
 
I'll put in my usual plug for Wilbur Smith. Just finished reading "Monsoon" and as always it was a fun, adventurous read. But every time I read one of his books, the next one up is always a let down...this time it's "Whiteout" by Ken Follett. Wilbur is the Man!
 
I recently finished "Blood and Treasure: Daniel Boone and the Fight for America's First Frontier", enjoyed this book very much (written by Bob Drury and Tom Clavin), a good read.

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
Ready for the hunt with HTK Safaris

Hello:
I’ll take the .375 Whitworth for $1,150 if the deal falls through.
Thanks .
