Book excerpt: This book is a must for anyone traveling to Africa or planning to go on a Southern African Safari, and if your going on safari you need to bring only one book "A short safari adventure among Africa's thorny Bushveld wildlife: Part One - History guide, life's imperatives, enigmas and travel" This book is about a safari adventure to Southern Africa, and is as rich in its history, including Zulu, ANC, Nelson Mandela and technical data as it is in its unusually unique extraordinary photography (over 400 of Lars' outdoor adventure photographs) that the authors have provided along with this wonderful adventure primarily illustrating how ancient San Bushman like hunter-gatherer attitudes influence mankind today and secondly how the global issues of land degradation, water resources, climate, struggles of third world countries, protein shortage, disease, biodiversity, and struggles of conservation affect us, and finally to show that conservation is no longer sufficient for both the survival of wildlife but also Mankind, because in many "conservation" areas wild animals are disappearing and we need animals biodiversity to survive dietary strains as the human population peaks at the end of the 21st century rather than just conservation. We need to focus on the restoration of habitat, ecosystems, communities, biodiversity, and wild animals, which are labeled "sustainable restorancy." They use this word "restorancy" because conservation and conservancy imply maintaining the status quo, however, in so many areas the habitat has been decimated and it is no longer a matter of conserving it but rather the environment needs to be restored and wild animals reintroduced to a restorancy. The authors integrate their adventures and stories including dealing with the Terrible Twelve - lions, leopards, elephants, rhino, buffalo, crocodiles, hippos, sharks, mambas and other snakes, tropical diseases, hyenas, and Homo sapiens. Why did we transition from hunter gatherers to pastoralists or agriculturalists and civilization, despite the "luxurious" living of hunter -gatherers and what relics of hunting remain in our daily lives? Is basketball a hunting reflection of a team on each side of a mastodon trying to dunk stones on the mastodon's head and why were we so successful in hunting and overcoming other animals? Is not President Obama's hunt for Bin Laden the ultimate modern manifestation of our deeply ingrained hunting process? Bruce elaborates on why he hunts, his transition from bird hunter to deer hunter, antelope hunter, and then how when he started hunting elk he found, as in Africa, he needed a guide and more help as part of the hunting process. He relates how Rivulets of Moment, including based on the adventure stories he read as a child about the "jungles" of Africa, a rifle, a trip to Africa, and a dream converged into a river carrying him to trophy hunting in Africa. Lars accompanied him and interviews Bruce, friends, PHs, photographs, and documents the return to the Bushveld and wildlife interactions where Lars grew up. The authors have done an excellent job of blending the past and existing problems and the future solutions by exploring the Manger of early Mankind and the influences on this remarkably beautiful continent. How has the enigma of earth's geology from the Big Bang onwards, including Moses timeline, and weather stresses, driven animal physiology to adapt, and in turn anatomy and behavior to accommodate, and how do different genealogies based on various methods reconcile with ancient biped Australopithecus and Homo species anatomical findings? How did emerging biped Paleo-anthropology and Paleolithic stresses, reflected in the Healthy San Bushmen diet, drive our need to hunt for protein, leadership, belief, protection against wild animal attack and disease, and what are the future challenges for our modern civilization and healthcare? Ingrained or encoded brain encryption from the past drives our daily lives.

This book was released on 2014-04-14 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A short safari adventure among Africa's thorny Bushveld wildlife: Part Two - Hunting, Ecosystem Challenges, Wildlife Restorancy." This is the second book in the series of true African travel and adventure safari that passionately deals with sensitive environmental, past political and wildlife management issues that face Africa today. "This book is not just another hunting story. It is the story of discovery, of brutally harsh realities - in short, an epic tale of Africa," summarized Don Heath, former Chief Ecologist for the Zimbabwe Parks Department, "you have the rediscovery of Africa by an ex African and a native American as they make their way through the thorny issues if not downright slippery shibboleths of consumptive conservation - 'wise use' was the Zimbabwean term I coined for the CITES COP 10 to argue for conservation through hunting." The format for the first part of this second book in the series relates Bruce's impressions of the day's hunt and thoughts in Bubye Conservancy and then around a campfire and dinner Bruce, PH Brent Hein, and Lars discuss their Perceptions of the Day, world events, mankind's struggles, Paleolithic behavior, diets, climate, environment, sports, conservation, hunting, reflections of hunting in modern society, rifles, and Africa. Based on their experience and reading, this would be like Teddy Roosevelt, Ernest Hemingway, Harry Selby, Al Gore, Jarred Diamond, Michael DeBakey and Jane Goodall gathering around an African campfire to discuss matters of interest to them. The authors tell of the random thrilling and dangerous events that occur to them when confronted by charging rhino, wild bush-pigs, elephants, giraffe and buffalo daka Tsotsie (gangsters) in the hot midday sun. Lars delves into the ecosystem challenges, the threat of diminishing wildlife populations in many game reserves and conservation areas, and the mounting problem of over population of elephants in Southern African countries leading to the devastation of habitats. Can ecotourism alone save Africa's wildlife or is hunting part of the financial equation or as Henry Thoreau said, is it true "The hunter is the greatest friend of the animals"? Do we need the biodiversity of distant Africa for Mankind's survival? Is a dead mamba the only good mamba or is there more to snakes? Who were the strong wild bulls of Bashan (aurochs or Pelorovis antiquus or Caper buffalo), and the giant race of Rephaim and Nephilim? Game managers have limited tools to manage wildlife populations, namely: fire, water, fencing, and culling or "off take", like selling of animals. Recent auctions have brought in over $2.3 million for a buffalo, and $0.5 million dollars for a rhino but the prices for the latter are paradoxically falling because of poaching and the cost of protection. The Kruger Park challenges and management is used to illustrate these aspects but also raises the problem of financing large wild life areas and how pressure from surrounding poverty stricken communities needs to be addressed and encompassed in any solution. The issues of harvesting wildlife for meat for local community populations, restaurants and the biltong trade, subsistence hunting, and trophies for tourist recreational hunters, and the ethics, are reviewed. Wild life restorancy is discussed in the broader context of Africa's rising, politics, potential agricultural resources, and future overpopulation food requirements, especially since growth will occur in Africa. Their hope is that African advancing higher education, the growth of the new middle class, African "ubuntu", and strong moral fiber based on religious beliefs will overcome the challenges of corruption and mismanagement. Ultimately, the question is whether one has the faith in Mankind to do the right thing and whether we will be able to resolve the issues? Bruce adds an Epilogue on the stunning turn of events after their return.

I come to respect the intelligence of the hyenas, the bravery of mother hippos protecting their calves, the sensitivity of elephants, and the raw power of lions-the unrivaled kings in this world. Gliding along the clear waters of the Okavango Delta, takes birding to another dimension as I encounter birds light enough to walk on lily pads, others tall enough to look me in the eye.In Soweto and Johannesburg with its gold and saffron colored air, I trace apartheid from its inception to its demise. I savor the kindness of people in villages, delve into their troubled history, and find myself in awe of their courage and ingenuity.I come away with greater knowledge of a continent, its treasures, and people. In An Elephant at My Door, I share this special world with readers through stories wrapped up in a safari adventure.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Two River Times says "... The book ́s vibrant descriptions of his hunting excursions express a true excitement and passion for the sport." Tracker Outdoors calls it "... a wonderfully written and inspiring book about a family on safari in South Africa... This finely crafted writing will surely inspire families, hunters and nature lovers to explore the African bush." African Hunter magazine proclaims " ...this is a good story... a story worth reading. A First World family ́s initiation into the African bush, and their appreciation of not only the wildlife, but the (country ́s) unique culture." “Take Me On Safari: A Family Affair” is a compelling and one-of-a-kind chronicle of a husband, wife, their teenage son, young daughter, and “grandmom” on safari in rural South Africa. This is the unforgettable memoir of the Mauro family, swept from their daily routines in suburbia U.S.A. and dropped into the center of adventure, drama and suspense in a remote corner of the Dark Continent. The experience strengthened family bonds, exposed them to the wonders of an ancient land and laid witness the timeless rituals of wildlife. This uniquely written account also includes the unedited thoughts of family members as taken from their diaries. The book is more than an sequential accounting of a family’s journeys in the Northern Province of South Africa. It is living testimony that a safari can be a catalyst that strengthens family bonds and supports wholesome values. According to the author “a safari is something much less than an arena for machismo but rather a voyage for the soul”. He continues, “... because of a need to share this truth I just thought writing a book was the best way to get the message out”. Those that have enlisted the event know that a safari brings modern man within proximity to reasonably glimpse the life of primitive man. It is a way to transport oneself as far as possible from the information driven and over-regulated new age in which we live to the stark, uninhibited and impulsive ways of ever-present wildlife. It can move us from a reality defined by the pillars of logic to a place where instinct governs survival and has done so since the dawn of time. The book gives numerous examples of the safari testing the mettle of one’s character. It lays bare thoughts and emotions ranging from fatigue, boredom, disappointment, fear and sadness to understanding, euphoria, pride, awe, excitement and surprise – all of which were called upon randomly and at a moments notice. Also highlighted is the family’s respect, appreciation and concern for wildlife and their desire for it to be available for future generations. The book demonstrates that a safari is more than an education about the wilderness. As described by Mr. Mauro, “In a way a safari is a religious experience and it can be as simple as living a humble life of faith or as complex to comprehend as all that is holy”. He continues, “It would give me great pleasure if my modest attempt at writing would inspire families, hunters, and observers to visit Africa and to take an interest in its future. In my opinion the continent is an archaeological testimony to the ways of time immemorial and an important display of the intricate patterns and interdependencies of our world’s ecology”. Although it is not a “how to” book “Take Me on Safari” can be a resource for anyone looking to take his or her family on safari – or even go it alone for that matter.

Book excerpt: Mbogo, the Black Death, which manifests itself in the African Cape buffalo, now stood less than 12 feet away from me. The cow and calf were too close for me to have time to be scared. I would only have time to react on instinct if they came closer. That is the type of excitement that every hunter dreams of and it is still possible in Africa today. It is also one that I was fortunate enough to experience without any permanent ill effects. Eighty percent or more of American hunters think that Africa is too expensive or off-limits and that they will never have a chance to experience their own, up-close-and-personal adventure in the African bushveld. Safari 101 proves just the opposite. Safari 101 is written for the hunter that has always considered Africa out of reach, someone who has a spark of desire just waiting to be fanned into a flame. American hunters spend thousands of dollars every year hunting at home. Almost none of them know that, for the price of a guided elk hunt in the western United States, they can take an African Safari. The myths of being too expensive and too difficult are firmly entrenched in many hunters minds. Safari 101 has forty-six hints dispersed throughout 11 chapters and proves these myths false. Personal experiences are used to illustrate the value of each hint and to make each one easy to remember. Safari 101 takes the author's experiences, and what he learned from professional hunters and outfitters, and puts the information in a logical progression that is entertaining as well as informative. Safari 101 will help fan the spark into a flame.

Book excerpt: For thousand of travelers, "safari" means vacation memories of a lifetime. This stunning, 200-page tour brings the reader through the greatest safari regions of Africa. Animals, landscape, light, movement; these elements define a safari adventure. Yet in each corner of Africa, a different scenario unfolds. What makes an elephant look different at the base of Kilimanjaro from an elephant in the marshes of Okavango? Why does a lion on the plains of Masai Mara look nothing like his counterpart on the plains of Etosha? How is a camp pitched in Zambia different from a lodge built in Kenya? Safari shows us the many faces of African countries renowned for their safais: South Africa, Namibia, Zambia, Botswana, Kenya, and Tanzania. From the political stance adopted by the individual governments to the skills of the rangers, and from the standard of the accomodation to the configuration of space, each country in Africa, each landscape, each reserve offers a character, beauty, charm, atmosphere, and harmony all it's own.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A hilarious, highly original collection of essays based on the Botswana truism: “only food runs!” With a new introduction and new material from the author In the tradition of Bill Bryson, a new writer brings us the lively adventures and biting wit of an African safari guide. Peter Allison gives us the guide’s-eye view of living in the bush, confronting the world’s fiercest terrain of wild animals and, most challenging of all, managing herds of gaping tourists. Passionate for the animals of the Kalahari, Allison works as a top safari guide in the wildlife-rich Okavango Delta. As he serves the whims of his wealthy clients, he often has to stop the impulse to run as far away from them as he can, as these tourists are sometimes more dangerous than a pride of lions. No one could make up these outrageous-but-true tales: the young woman who rejected the recommended safari-friendly khaki to wear a more “fashionable” hot pink ensemble; the lost tourist who happened to be drunk, half-naked, and a member of the British royal family; establishing a real friendship with the continent’s most vicious animal; the Japanese tourist who requested a repeat performance of Allison’s being charged by a lion so he could videotape it; and spending a crazy night in the wild after blowing a tire on a tour bus, revealing that Allison has as much good-natured scorn for himself. The author’s humor is exceeded only by his love and respect for the animals, and his goal is to limit any negative exposure to humans by planning trips that are minimally invasive—unfortunately it doesn’t always work out that way! New story: People often ask safari guides about the experience that frightened them the most. In this story Peter Allison tells of the time he became aware of unseen danger, and knew that somewhere within meters of him was a hunting lioness. Peter Allison is originally from Sydney, Australia. His safaris have been featured in National Geographic, Conde Nast Traveler, and on television programs such as Jack Hanna’s Animal Adventures. He travels frequently to speaking appearances, and splits most of his time between Botswana, Sydney, and San Francisco.
