UNDER THE AFRICAN SUN

The late Dr. Frank Hibben was a legend in the field of hunting. A Weatherby Award winner, he went on a grand total of thirty-six safaris! From his first safari in 1949 to his last one in 1997, he traveled to almost every African country and hunted every major and minor game animal of the Dark Continent. From his early safaris with Andrew Holmberg until his last hunts in Botswana, there have been very few animals he did not take. Before Chad, Somalia, and Kenya banned hunting, he captured such unusual animals as the eastern bongo, dibatag gazelle, and addax. In addition, he had an impressive collection of ivory, which he donated to the University of New Mexico, and what is generally regarded as the biggest leopard to ever come from Kenya. These were truly impressive trophies. These hunts and many more are described in his last book, which contains the best from his earlier title Hunting In Africa as well as seventeen previously unpublished stories of African big-game hunting and adventure. You will not want to miss this well-written and exciting account! Illustrated with dozens of color photos.
