Klappentext: "Deep within Kenya's Aberdare
Forest, The Ark, a new concept in game-viewing lodges, is playing a vital role in enabling man
to study wild animals in their own surroundings. The Ark has given thousands of visitors an opportunity to see rare antelopes like the
beautiful, timid bongo, the tiny, rabbit-sized suni and the secretive red duiker, as well as observing the
everyday life of elephants, rhinos, buffaloes and leopards in their natural habitats. The Ark's great personality, its Hunter, Lancastrian Dick Prickett, ex-forester,
honorary game warden and student of Africa for many years, here gives the background to The Ark and describes in detail the animals, birds and trees found nearby. His personal
diaries of animal behaviour during The Ark's first three years are fascinating, as are his humorous recollections of human
behaviour at the lodge. Frank Lane has achieved a world first with his sequence of pictures of the bongo,
and his other photographs let us see for ourselves the animals we have come to know in the text - old
Dewlap, the fearless buffalo bull, the family of giant forest-hogs and the The Ark's star turn, the little genet, which comes every night to the verandah for its
raw egg."

of the United States was also a world-renowned hunter, conservationist, soldier, and scholar. In 1908 he
took a long safari holiday in East Africa with his son Kermit. His account of this adventure is as
remarkably fresh today as it was when these adventures on the veld were first published. Roosevelt describes
the excitement of the chase, the people he met (including such famous hunters as Cunninghame and Selous),
and flora and fauna he collected in the name of science."

African Nights
von Kuki Gallmann
Gebundene Ausgabe, 192 Seiten, 29 Farb-
& 21 SW-Fotos auf 32 Tafeln, 1 Karte Viking Books (UK), Juni
1994, ISBN 0-670-85611-8
Klappentext: "Kuki Gallmann, whose
haunting bestseller I
Dreamed of Africa so perfectly captured the beauty and drama of the Kenyan highlands, and who so
generously bared her heart to its readers, here evokes, through a tapestry of interwoven true episodes, the
magic that touches all African life. Whether the adventure of a moonlit picnic on a vanishing island, or the
pleasure of building a unique bed; her son's entrancement with chameleons, or the mystical visit of a king
cobra to his grave; a brief communion with a Masai woman, the mysterious compassion of an elephant herd, or
the wild peace of a night lost in the highlands - in each event Kuki Gallmann, a born storyteller, conveys
her delight and wonder at the whole fabric of creation. She recounts touching moments with people passing
through, and enduring friendships constantly renewed; strange and wonderful encounters with animals; the
vivid beauty of coast and ocean, the magnificence of the mountains and the teeming life of forest and
savannah; disasters miraculously averted and deaths imbued with resurrection. Like I Dreamed of Africa, in
which she shared her vision of harmony between man and his environment, so this book reveals the third
element of that indivisible trinity: Africa's soul."

Barefoot over the Serengeti
von David Read
Gebundene Ausgabe, 195 Seiten, 8
Schwarzweißfotos, 5 Schwarzweißillustrationen, 2 Karten Cassell
& Co. (UK), März 1979, ISBN 0-304-30057-8
Synopsis: "Barefoot over the
Serengeti is a real 'Boys Own' adventure - but this book is factual, not fiction. It is a unique and
evocative tale of childhood adventures in a world that very few Europeans have experienced. David Read grew
up among the Masai, learning to speak Maa fluently. He describes his childhood and adventures, and his
experiences among the Masai. His account starts in 1929 and is a fascinating insight into the life and
customs of the Masai in that time. Barefoot over the Serengeti is a 'must read' for anyone even
remotely interested in Africa."

Synopsis: "Beating about the Bush
is the eagerly awaited follow-up to Barefoot over the Serengeti,
the tale of a young boy's life with the Masai, on the predator-rich plains of, what is now, the most famous
game park on Earth. This book charts the life of David Read from the period of 1936 to 1952 in the colony of
Tanganyika (modern-day Tanzania), as he comes to grips with his first schooling, his move to the Lupa
Goldfields and the onset of adult life. Caught up in the War he marches his regiment of Masai and Samburu
warriors from Eritrea to Kenya before leading them via Madagascar to the jungles of India and Burma. After
demobilisation he becomes a vetinary officer, and it is here that his childhood experience comes into its
own, as he roams the African bush, gazetting East Africa's game parks, investigating ritual tribal murder
and learning about the reclusive hunter-gatherer Ndorobo people."

Synopsis: "George Adamson is already
famous for the part he played in the epic of EIsa (the Kenya lioness) and her cubs (described in his wife's
books Born Free,
Living Free
and Forever
Free); but only five years of his adventurous life were occupied in this way. Many readers of these
books have been curious to hear more about this quiet, self-effacing man, greatly respected by Kenyans but
little known outside Africa. In Bwana Game George Adamson describes his childhood in India, his
family's move to Kenya and the strange and varied ways in which he earned a living when he came out to
Africa after leaving his English school. These ran almost the whole gamut of available jobs and ranged from
ploughman, sisal plantation hand, barman, milk roundsman, to trading in goats, beeswax and honey; entering
Government Service as a Locust Control Officer, making roads, becoming a professional hunter, mica mining
and finally, turned gold prospector, searching for the Queen of Sheba's Mines. Among the many exciting
safaris he made was an expedition to Lake Rudolf, in the course of which he crossed its dangerous waters in
a boat which he and a friend built out of acacia branches and groundsheets. These fourteen years were mainly
lonely ones in which George Adamson developed a taste for freedom, a love of remote places, and a complete
disregard for danger and for security. At the age of 32 he had made little money but had gained a unique
knowledge of the land, people and fauna of Kenya. It was then that he was offered a post in the Game
Department and found his vocation. His account of his years spent as a Game Warden is crammed with gripping
stories of adventures with the greater predators, and delightful descriptions of the rescue of wounded or
orphaned animals. Twice he was seconded for other service during the Second World War, and the Mau Mau
troubles. It was after the years spent with EIsa and her cubs that George Adamson retired from the Game
Service. He next worked on animal rescue operations and then became technical adviser to the company which
was filming Born Free.
His exceptional knowledge of lions, and the trust he was always able to inspire in them, were invaluable in
the training of the animal cast. When the filming ended he devoted himself to rehabilitating Boy, Girl and
Ugas (lions which took part in the film) to wild life. Some months later, four cubs were given to him and
with this pride he has settled in the bush where today he is caring for the first and second generation of
lions. Living day in, day out, most of the time alone, with these magnificent animals has afforded him the
opportunity of noting every aspect of their lives and of observing their markedly different characters; the
descriptions he gives are therefore of great zoological interest. As well as being a thrilling autobiography
of a man totally dedicated to the preservation of wild life, Bwana Game contains unique information
concerning East African animals which have perhaps never before been so intimately observed over many
years."
