I'm interested in a basin guide to hunting Africa that includes a description of game animals, where they can be found, and what to expect from outfitters.

Any suggestions?

I really liked the African Hunter II book for a general all around knowledge type book for African Hunters.

African Hunter II and the Safari Guide by Safari Press are both very good (editors are the same for both books...Boddington and Flack who are as qualified as any for this). If you are looking for info to base a hunt off of then I would recommend Safari Guide first.

I just read "Safari Guide" by Peter Flack. This book is very basic and I would recommend it for a first time African hunter. "African Hunter II" is a far better book. Also, I highly recommend the "Perfect Shot" and the just published "African's Most Dangerous" both by Kevin Robertson. I consider these the bible books for African hunting and Buffalo hunting.

You will find most books regarding hunting concessions and PHs are outdated information. Africa just changes too quickly. I suggest using the AR web site and ask all of your questions to the members of this forum. I have found that the information here is much more valuable and accurate(no pun intended) than any book out there. In addition, any false or misleading information is quickly rectified. I do not think that there is any better source of information than the AR web site.

I would also suggest going to SCI Dallas or Reno. You will met most of the worldwide PHs and get a better sense of African Hunting than from any book.

PS. Disclaimer: I have hunter Africa only once and will be returning April 2008. There are far better and more knowledgeable African hunters on this web site.

Unfortunatly I'm going to miss SCI in Dallas. Thanks for the recommnedations.

For general guides Boddington's African Experience is not bad. Another good one is by Swan, but I can't remember the exact title.

The Swan book is "Hunting Africa", we have them in stock

If it's your first time--- The Perfect Shot ---
is awesome.

Very informative and enlightening.
