Kindle by the campfire

[Rafiki]

I'll be heading back to TZ in October and bringing my Kindle; I'm looking for book suggestions. On my last safari I brought "Into Africa" by Dugard which was perfect. Since everyone has their personal preferences I tend to like books of historical nature; early exploration and survival. Also about anything about Africa. I'm considering Patersons book on the Tsavo man-eaters for instance.

So what are some favorite songs of this group?

 

[Laniarius]

Yes, The Maneaters of Tsavo is a good choice. Also, Corbett's Maneaters of Kumaon.

 

[Flipper Dude]

Gimme Shelter by the Stones has always been a favorite

Empty Glass by Gary Stewart

Sorry. I’m so bad.

A Hunter’s Wanderings in Africa by Selous will eat up a lot of time. I always enjoy it.

Skeletons on the Zahara by Dean King is a very good true historical survival story.

Nearly everyone above a certain age has seen "Out of Africa," but very few have read Karen Blixen's actual novel. It is well worth the time. Another lesser known work is "West with the Night" by Beryl Markham. It is autobiographical and superb. Hemingway said that he hated it because no author's first book should be so good.

Death in the Long Grass by Capstick is good read. He may have embellished the stories a bit, but the man could write. Very entertaining.

I've read both and also found them wonderful reads, especially Markhams book.

Appropriate, I'll be hunting an area that borders Selous on the south.
