White Hunters

East Africa affects our imagination like few other places: The sight of a charging rhino goes directly to the heart; the limitless landscape of bony highlands desert and mountain is as Isak Dinesen wrote of unequalled nobility. White Hunters is the story of seventy years of African adventure danger and romance. It re-creates the legary big-game safaris led by Selous and Bell and the daring ventures of early hunters into unexplored territories and brings to life such romantic figures as Cape-to-Cairo Grogan who walked 4000 miles for the love of a woman and Dinesen''s dashing lover Denys Finch. Witnesses to the richest wildlife spectacle on the earth these hunters were the first conservationists. Hard-drinking infatuated with risk and careless in love they inspired Hemingway''s stories and movies with Clark Gable and Gregory Peck.
