I am just finishing reading The Last Ivory Hunter, about Wally Johnson, and there is frequent reference to his son, who was also a PH. Anyone know what years and countries he was active? Is he still alive?

Walt Johnson Jr. left when the civil war broke out and never returned to Mozambique.

I believe he has been living in the States.

Didn't he PH in Botswana with his father after 1974.

Wonder if any of the Botswana old timers would know.

Not sure how I missed that the Kilimanjaro tusks were taken by a slave of Tippu Tib?? I thought they were pick-ups?

Tippu was a rather fascinating character.

There is a famous photo of those tusks in front of Tippu Tib's palace doors. Those ornate doors now reside at Chateau Cos D'estranol in Bordeaux France.
