Summary: Great book on today's hunting in Africa
Review: 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.
Rating: 
Summary: Dissapointing
Review: Boddington is at his best with details on rifles calibers and actions. This book is at best an account of Boddingtons adventures which are neither educational or informative. Too matter of factly written with no style. If you're used to Capstick's wit this book will dissapoint you.

Summary: This book deals with hunting in the "Africa" of today.
Review: 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.

Summary: Excellent hunting adventure/advice, easy read
Review: 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.
