Hunting has given way to poaching, and most safaris are now picture-taking, which suits me fine.Roark tells of his adventure in the early '50s with fine attention to detail. He comes across every animal you can imagine and includes a sense of humility he experiences alongside the likes of 'Great White Hunters.' This book, though out of print for some time, is a classic adventure, and the fact it is true-life is all the more gratifying for me to have this in my collection. If you can get your hands on a copy I suggest you do. It's an adventure you won't want to miss out on.David Lucero, author ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Another Slice of Vintage Ruark. BUY IT! *by W***I on Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2013* If you enjoy reading about how African Hunting used to be back in the late 1940's and early '50's (along with several well-done, vintage photos), then buy Horn of the Hunter. You will not find a better narrator of African Hunting than the late Robert Ruark, although the work of Peter Hathaway Capstick runs a very close second. "Bwana Bob," though, is still king of the hill when it comes to describing the stark realism and breath-taking beauty of the old Africa.You get to go on safari from the comfort of your easy chair for SIGNIFICANTLY less money than actually purchasing a real one, and it is a testament to Ruark's literary skill that he does a better job of describing things to you in words than a DVD would do today!If you enjoyed Ruark's "Od Man" books as I did, buy this one. You will not be disappointed. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Horn of the Hunter *by G***S on Reviewed in the United States on December 25, 2010* Ruark writes with old school flair that took me back to African hunting camp. I felt like I was right in the truck with him and his PH Harry Selby. If this books doesn't make you want to hunt Africa, I am not sure what would. A great read with detail about the region and the game he pursues. A must for all hunters...especially the ones with an eye for Africa. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/9163732-horn-of-the-hunter-the-story-of-an-african-safari](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/9163732-horn-of-the-hunter-the-story-of-an-african-safari) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-11*
