I know Ian Nychens did, I think Selous moved through the area and John Taylor was in the general area. I'd like to pick up some new books about guys who hunted the general area. Thanks

Tuskers in The Dust by (Fred Everett) whom hunted the region and bordering countries might be qgood option

Cheers, Peter

If you can give me an idea of the books or authors you might be interested in I will see if I have them in the collection I am selling.

Geoff

You'll find the largest selection of new and used African hunting and Africa related books on the net here

Prices start from about 50 cents and go up to US$225K

Richard Harland has written two fantastic books....

Ndlovu and The Hunting Imperative.

He is probably the greatest living elephant hunter.

The two books are mandatory reading if you like African hunting.

Thanks for the tips guys.

I have read Months or the Sun, Geoff Brooms book, Selous A Hunters Wanderings in Africa, all of John Taylors books, all of Capstick's books and I'm looking for more books to read that happened in Zimbabwe.

Geoff, with the nice rifles you have, spend less time reading about it and more time doing it!!! (Just kidding...I'm often "off on safari" in the den with a good book)

Did not some guy with the last name Stewart write about hunting in Africa, including the Zambezi Valley?

Mike, yes, I can't recall his first name but it was something snazzy...Fizz Stewart maybe?

I'm going to the Omay to hunt buffalo with Martin Pieters in Aug 2012 so I need something to help me pass the time.

Bill,

His native name is "he who carries two barrels but only one trigger"


Geoff,

I read "Months of the Sun" while in Martin's Ume River Camp. Good book, good place to read it.

Ian Nyschens wrote and published a second book, the name escapes me. It is expensive if you can find it, and "Months of the Sun" was a better read.
