Death In The Silent Places by Peter Capstick

Almost any of his books are good reads, ESPECIALLY while in route to Africa haha


They might make you a bit nervous sleeping though...

You'll love em. Very much able to re-read them too. His writing style is very addicting, makes you feel like you are right there.

Any of Brad Thor's books are good. 13 Hours was a good read, but I was pretty irritated after reading it.

You might read up on Major Mike Hoar, or Rhodesian Selous Scouts.... with the way things are going in South Africa it might be useful...HA!

I’d grab some capstick too for that trip. “Death in the Long Grass” for sure.

If your wife is coming don’t read Hemingway’s “Green Hills of Africa” you’ll be looking over your shoulder the whole trip.

Classic Hunting Tales: Timeless Stories about the Great Outdoors
by Vin. T Sparano
Great collection by different authors, including a good Africa one from Jack O'Connor.

I also love "Crow Killer, New Edition: The Saga of Liver-Eating Johnson", by Raymond W. Thorp, Jr.Robert Bunker

Man, I tried the McCarthy thing and it just didn't get it's hooks in me. How far in until it gets good?

To the OP American Serengeti or American buffalo are both great

Andrew,
I've really enjoyed books by Bear Grylls... his recount of being "The kid who climbed Everest" was great...also his book on boating across the North Atlantic.
Hardest book ever for Me to put down was Lone Survivor... read that over 2 days (and I'm not that kind of reader, usually a couple chapters a night)

Good Luck in Africa! Share pics!

Alive

 

[LostArra]

River of Doubt by Candice Millard
Theodore Roosevelt's journey to the headwaters of the Amazon River
PBS did a documentary on it in their American Experience series

Alive

"Snakes on a plane" will keep you awake too
