London. Constable and Company Ltd. 1990. UK First Edition. , hard bound in dust jacket, 6 1/2 x 9 1/2, FINE/FINE CONDITION, 229 pages, illus., notes, bibliog., index.-------------------------------------- This carefully researched and highly entertaining account charts the history of the safari from its origins in trade to the extravagances of the safari's golden age in the 1920s and 1930s. Kenneth Cameron introduces and conveys a vivid sense of 'being there' through skilful use of first-hand accounts and his own personal experience of East Africa.-------------------------------------------------------------People went on safari for many reasons. They came to East Africa to see, to touch, and of course to kill. East Africa became Safariland, a pleasure ground for rich white men like Theodore Roosevelt, Ernest Hemingway, George Eastman, Baron Rothschild, even the Prince of Wales (with Mrs Simpson waiting in the wings); and a challenge for early women explorers such as May French Sheldon and Mary Hall.----------------------------------------------------------------Above all, Into Africa uncovers a wealth of fascinating historical detail on every aspect of the safari: the clothes (from obligatory headgear to the ubiquitous spinal pad); the equipment (from tents, folding baths, and a variety of portable toilets to cooking utensils, guns and ammunition); the exploitative relationship between whites and blacks; the craze for 'stunt' safaris (including the Boyce Balloonograph Expedition of 1909 and Charles `Buffalo' Jones, who lassoed lion, giraffe, even rhino, cowboy style); and, at the heart of it all, the hunting – 'that glorious madness' – and the myth of the great white hunter.The romance, brutality, and sheer self-indulgence of the East African safari are brilliantly captured in this compelling chronicle of adventure and exploitation.
