From the Publisher

Finally, Craig Boddington's long-awaited sequel to From Mt. Kenya to the Cape is here-the story of Boddington's hunts in the Dark Continent during the last ten years! Since writing his first African book, he has shot big game in Ethiopia, the Central African Republic, Tanzania, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Zambia, and Botswana-an unparalleled hunting accomplishment. From the steaming jungles of the Congo basin in search of the elusive bongo to the arid bushveld of Zimbabwe for leopard, Boddington pursues a large array of animals. America's most popular international hunter/writer tracks after such exotic animals as the mountain nyala, giant forest hog, sitatunga, giant eland, and a host of other game with unusual names. Of course such "normal" animals as the Cape buffalo, lion, leopard, and elephant are hunted too! If you like Boddington's magazine articles, you'll love his latest book

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent hunting adventure/advice, easy read, December 31, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Where Lions Roar: Ten more years of African Hunting (Hardcover)

Mr Boddington provides his usual, perhaps best, story telling. The volume is a must read for anyone contemplating an African hunt; or those who enjoy well written, honestly portrayed hunting stories.

The volume reviews Africa by country or geographic areas (i.e. the Rift Valley) covering many of the most popular/accessible countries and species.

Boddington provides useful tips on travel, visas, restrictions, licensing, weather, packing/gear, firearms/calibers and bullets/loads in an honest straight forward style (one of the few writers, who admits actually having made a less than desirable shot/decisions in the field). And in each case he explains the value of the lesson learned.

An excellent read.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book deals with hunting in the "Africa" of today., August 10, 2003

This review is from: Where Lions Roar: Ten more years of African Hunting (Hardcover)

Gaining a grasp on the hunting areas in Africa and what they have to offer is difficult(What can I hunt in Namibia, which country has the best leopard, ect.). This book, although not ment as a guide, presents the reader with a good idea of what can be found and where.
This book is one one of only a two hunting titles that I find myself pulling off the shelf to reread on a regular basis.
The only item I found lacking was the fact that Mr. Boddington gave the names for the areas hunted but for the most part failed to mention in which country the area in question can be found.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great book on today's hunting in Africa, September 5, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Where Lions Roar: Ten more years of African Hunting (Hardcover)

Author goes to something like 9 different countries to hunt big-game. Gives goo narrative on the hunts as wellas ideas and tips on what to do and expect. Could be a bit more descriptive here and there is the only fault I can find.
