A humorous yet informed view of the African safari experience is evoked in Rick Boyer's foray into creative non-fiction. An autobiographical look at the myth of the Great White Hunter, this tale provides an insightful look into the meeting of two cultures that has become big business -- the safari as a subculture within Africa's vast expanse of uninhabited land. Providing a broader understanding of the environment and politics of Africa, the self-deprecating tale presents a keen depiction of the African landscape and the people met on the way to a final showdown with a Cape buffalo.
