Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

From the desolate Karoo and continuing through the Kalahari Desert, the Congo, and on to the Lupa Goldfield in Tanganyika, Burger meets some of the strangest characters imaginable: He accompanies the world's most fantastic snake man, who is bitten by the deadly mamba and cobra. In the dense forest Burger awakens one night to savage drum beats, and, interpreting them as messages from a cannibal tribe, escapes being their next meal. In addition to these enthralling tales, the reader shares adventures on the trail of the lion, the elephant, and buffalo.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good, but not his best, July 25, 2000

tjshelton "tshelton" (Plano, TX) - See all my reviews

This review is from: African Adventures (Hardcover)

Those expecting exciting safari tales will be mildly disappointed. There are very few of those here. However, it is a very revealing and self-deprecating semi-autobiography of John F. Burger. Mind you, there are some wild tales about the African bush in the early to mid-1900's, they just don't all occur on the game trail. The chapter devoted to his late wife is very touching. The writing style is quite readable, yet very "proper".
