Always Lightly Tread
von E. Cronje Wilmot (Text) & C.T. Astley Maberly (Redaktion & Illustrationen)
Klappentext: "Cronje Wilmot's book is
essentially a genuine narrative of the wild, unpredictable part of Africa, which those who have been
fortunate enough to know it - have come to love so well. Dealing in the main with Ngamiland and
Bechuanaland, this is no superficial record of a few hastily conducted trips. It is the story of a man who
has spent a lifetime in these areas, and he takes us on crocodile shooting in the mysterious Okavango
swamps, relates numerous adventures with buffalo, lions and leopards and other less wellknown game of the
swamplands, such as Lechwe and Sitatunga. His account of his mauling by a lion is one of the most vivid
chapters in the book, whilst he has much to say about the snakes of his part of the world. Apart from the
mere entertainment value, however, he gives us much food for reflection. For instance, his suggestion that
the prevalence of Bubonic Plague throughout the territory may result from the intensive persecution of the
smaller carnivorous mammals for their skins, thereby permitting an unnatural increase of rodents as
carriers, demands serious consideration. All hunters, naturalists, botanists and anglers, as well as all
those who enjoy the acrid smell of the camp fire and love the African veld, will enjoy this book."

Verleger: "In Backseat Safari,
we travel with the author as she chronicles her and her photographer-husband's journeys from her position in
the backseat of their Land Rover - 'Sybil, a name suggested by its registration plate (SBL 208 T)'. The
author's wit razor-sharp and her eye passionately acute, she transports us to the wild places of Botswana's
Okavango Delta, Zimbabwe's Save Valley Conservancy, Mala Mala Reserve and the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park.
We follow Sybil's isolated routes and meet people such as Robert the Barefoot Lion-hunter. We experience
life in a bush camp - 'The architects had gone for a somewhat primitive air-conditioning system, providing a
simple, gaping expanse around the entire hut between roof and wall, allowing for both the free movement of
air, and wild animals, into the room.' Along the way we consider the dubious, and much-touted, benefits of
ecotourism and learn the rules of wildlife photography - 'the camera never lies, nor swims.' Above all, we
encounter animals in close-up. The author and her husband manoeuvre Sybil through 'Pamplona Francolin runs';
meet a lost and trembling zebra foal 'all eyes and knees'; stop to observe as 'in the pitch dark, several
hippos are agitating to continue down the path and to the left, twenty-one lions are lurking in the reeds
waiting to attack them'; and focus the lens on 'nine tons of elephant trio walking within arm's reach of the
seat, so close that we can make out the black, coarse hairs on their hides'."

A Game Ranger Remembers
Thirty Years in the Kruger National
Park
Verleger: "This is a collection of
stories about the life of a bushveld conservationist as it is lived at ground level by that elite band of
men and women who guard the Kruger National Park - at the cost of much sweat and, not infrequently, quite a
bit of blood. Bruce Bryden's tales of 30 years in the service of our most famous park make a gripping and
entertaining read, abounding with encounters with elephant, lion, buffalo, leopard and rhino, whether
darting for research, managing culling operations by helicopter or stalking on foot. In the best tradition
of bushveld stories, there is a great deal of shooting, and a fair amount of running away; there are
meetings with extraordinary characters among the rangers; memorable gatherings; hilarious mishaps and narrow
escapes; and throughout, a great love and respect for both the wilderness and the creatures that inhabit it."

The Heart of the Hunter
von Laurens van der Post, Maurice Wilson (Illustrationen)
Gebundene Ausgabe, 256 Seiten, 67
Schwarzweißillustrationen
The Hogarth Press (UK), Dezember 1961
Klappentext: "In The
Lost World of the Kalahari, Laurens van der Post described an expedition that he led in search of a
remnant of the most ancient people of Africa, the Bushman. The present book begins where the first book left
off. On their way out of the Kalahari, the author and his party encountered a small group of Bushmen. This
meeting stirred him to set down on paper the legends and fables he had heard from the Bushmen - the primal,
unwritten literature of Africa. These stories have an extraordinary force, charm and spirit, coming as they
do from the remotest past. We hear about the Ratel and the Honey-Diviner, the brave Ostrich, the beautiful
Eland, the Baboon-Intellectuals; there is the astonishing saga of the Mantis, and there are lovely fables
about the Sun, the Wind, the Rain, and the Dawn's Heart. Laurens van der Post also gives us his
interpretation of these mysterious tales, and stresses the vital importance to us of understanding the
truths which, through such myths, our primaeval brothers can still convey to us."
