CRIES of the SavannaHi Everyone!
Although many on this website are seasoned safari hunters, I invite you to enter the CRIES if the Savanna book giveaway to rediscover Africa through the eyes of a greenhorn experiencing its wonder, magnificence — and peril — for the first time.
…AND, for those dreaming of Africa, enter the contest and join me on a transformative journey. Fall in love with Africa, its people, and wildlife like I did!
Excerpt Chapter One:
“…Umphhh. The lion’s grunt jolted me from my reverie. Still wedged against Rick on his tiny bunk, I returned my attention to Simba’s primal serenade, Fisi’s insane choruses, and the rest of Africa’s beastly symphony. A realization surged through me. Finally, after years of anticipation, my African dream was coming true. It was nothing like I had envisioned, but nestled in a tent, hours from civilization, there was absolutely no turning back. Nor did I find myself wanting to. Even though apprehension filled my entire being, it became crystal clear that Rick’s version of the dream was far more than anything I could have imagined for myself.
No doubt, there would be difficult and unsettling moments. Rick would very likely be harvesting some of the creatures that I had treasured since my first “Kimba the White Lion” cartoon. It was also clear that our adventures would be partnered with aspects of danger. I couldn’t help wondering how my romanticized view of Africa, after dreaming about it for so many years, would stand against reality.
Even with uncertainty gnawing at me, my feelings of apprehension and exhaustion floundered as other emotions trickled to the surface. Fascination. Excitement. Awe. Astonishment. Curiosity. And thankfulness. Lying wide-eyed -- covered in goosebumps listening to the chortles, bellows, growls, squeaks, whistles, cooing, cawing, whoooops, and umphhs of the African Symphony -- I realized that I had never felt so terror-stricken and yet, at the same time, so alive and exhilarated by the promise of the days to come.”
Excerpt Chapter 3:
“…As I fell into bed, the African symphony had already begun its ghostly composition. We could hear the hyena’s howls and ghastly giggles; the hippo’s throaty bellow; and other squeals, squeaks, chirps, whistles, and cries that are impossible to put into words. Simba was still quiet, at least at that moment.
In many ways, the day had been punishing: many long arduous hours of hunting but no harvesting. We had tracked a dagga boy, stalked multiple zebra, eaten lunch under the canopy of a Lucky Bean tree, and were exposed to countless new experiences, wildlife, and lands. Heck we’d even been showered with feces from giant-sized bats. I couldn’t remember ever having a day as exhausting, sweltering, grueling and sometimes frustrating. Yet, unbelievably, I couldn’t wait to do it all over again. One thing was for certain, our first day on safari had been crazy. Bat-shit crazy. Literally.”

Yay! I am so happy to hear that you want to read the book either way. That is always wonderful to hear. Good luck in the contest. SueCRIES of the Savanna
I look forward to reading this, whether I win a copy or purchase one. Looks like a good book!
Wow, that is so wonderful to hear that your clients are talking about it. That made my morning! I wrote it in an attempt to educate non-hunters in a fun way but I am thrilled when safari hunters love it too. I’m actually working hard to make it available throughout Africa ….especially in gift shops etc. it would be good for general tourists to read the book! Anyway, thanks for entering to win a book…and for the kind words! SueCRIES of the Savanah
Can't wait to read it! Had many amazing client referrals about it!
