Summary:The author tells of eighty years of safaris in Africa, evoking "the harmony that once existed between hunters and such magnificent animals as elephant, lion, leopard, buffalo, and rhino--the big five--that roamed the high plateaus of East Africa in large numbers before poaching and politics intervened.
