ISBN: 978-1-57157-387-2 This book is sold out from publisher...Steve Christenson started hunting in Botswana in 1977 with PH Willie Engelbrecht, going on three safaris to hunt all the worthy game this country had to offer. From the moment legendary professional hunter Harry Selby welcomes the author to Botswana for his first safari, the reader is immersed in a grand adventure and spine-tingling stories of the bush: a tracker attacked by a leopard and a magnificently maned lion measuring over ten feet, for example. This is the story of a novice who went to Africa only to have his dreams shaken, yet rose from despair because of exceptional mentoring and guidance from renowned professional hunters Ole Man Wally Johnson and Willie Engelbrecht. From the Okavango to the Plains of East Africa contains many dramatic accounts, including the first successful leopard track in the Kalahari; expeditions to the most remote regions of the southern desert; hunting throughout Tanzania: the Serengeti, Masailand, Longido, and Mount Meru; an expedition to the Usambara Mountains; several trips to the Rungwa River; and an expeditionary safari to Lake Rukwa. Christenson collected many extraordinary trophies, including some animals that can no longer be hunted, and there are many stories of hunts for dangerous game, some resulting in serious close calls. The book contains adventures of record trophies taken and traversing the wilderness after those that got away. It is a story about the amazing bonds formed between a client and his professional hunters, and the hunter’s respect for the African land and its people. Brand new.
