"Dr. Livingstone, I presume?" So goes the signature introduction of New York Herald star journalist Henry Morton Stanley to renowned explorer Dr. David Livingstone, who had been missing for six years in the wilds of Africa. Into Africa ushers us into the meeting of these remarkable men. In 1866, when Livingstone journeyed into the heart of the African continent in search of the Nile's source, the land was rough, unknown to Europeans, and inhabited by man-eating tribes.

Steven Rinella grew up in Twin Lake, Michigan, the son of a hunter who taught his three sons to love the natural world the way he did. As a child, Rinella devoured stories of the American wilderness, especially the exploits of his hero, Daniel Boone. He began fishing at the age of three and shot his first squirrel at eight and his first deer at 13. He chose the colleges he went to by their proximity to good hunting ground, and he experimented with living solely off wild meat. As an adult, he feeds his family from the food he hunts.

Story
It’s December 1997, and a man-eating tiger is on the prowl outside a remote village in Russia’s Far East. The tiger isn’t just killing people, it’s annihilating them, and a team of men and their dogs must hunt it on foot through the forest in the brutal cold. As the trackers sift through the gruesome remains of the victims, they discover that these attacks aren’t random: The tiger is apparently engaged in a vendetta. Injured, starving, and extremely dangerous, the tiger must be found before it strikes again.

America's Great Plains once possessed one of the grandest wildlife spectacles of the world, equaled only by such places as the Serengeti, the Masai Mara, or the veld of South Africa. Pronghorn antelope, gray wolves, bison, coyotes, wild horses, and grizzly bears: less than 200 years ago these creatures existed in such abundance that John James Audubon was moved to write "it is impossible to describe or even conceive the vast multitudes of these animals".

A fascinating account ....
Having lived in Africa and hunted I found this reading evocative of a time now past and, sadly, of lands now devastated by war & famine.
It is a fascinating account, beautifully read, of a lifestyle that is now just a part of the history of colonial Africa. I would heartily recommend this book to anyone who has the remotest interesting in hunting, whether in Africa or elsewhere.

Must Read
This is a must read for anyone interseted in Big Game hunting past and present and is not just a score board of animals killed. It gives a great insight into the Africa of the first half of the 20th century. If you enjoy reading Capstick then this is for you. The author has a vast knowledge of his subject and I highly recommend this title

White Hunter, tales of Gentlemen Adventurers
If you are interested in tales of high adventure, safaris and big game hunting in Africa, this is a book for you.
"White Hunters" details the adventures, lives and often deaths of some of Africa's explorers, white professional hunters, and characters from a period of African history which can no longer be experienced.
Having heard or read of some of the individuals portrayed in the book it was fascinating to hear of more of their exploits. Some of the individuals in the book are still alive but fewer each year. It is fascinating to meet these adventurers in person as well as in this book.
Listening to the safaris and big game hunting exploits brings forth "the smell of cordite in the morning" from their double rifles firing cigar sized Nitro Express cartridges.
Audible bring us more books like this one.

Like re-visting old friends...
I'm showing my age, but I was lucky enough to have several Great Uncles that were Missionaries and "Adventurers" back in the VERY EARLY 1900's... They all loved traveling and learning new cultures so much, they ALL passed away "Over seas, traveling" at very old ages (a little over "100 years old" is about the norm for my family, with decent health right up to the end). Their (VERY old) antebellum homes here in the deep south are FILLED with "Things they picked up while traveling around the world" (if you think inheriting, and trying to modernize, a three story Antebellum Home 'would be fun', trust me, it IS NOT! ;) ). As a kid, I'd listen to them telling their "latest adventures", scattered with stories of "when I wasn't much older than you, I ___". I especially loved their older stories about Africa and the Far East (etc), like the "Races in British East Africa" in the early 1900's, and riding "The Lunatic Line", and seeing wild animals strolling down Main Street, etc. I was delighted to hear Mr. Herne telling the same basic stories, just from someone else's point of view. I used to be a bit skeptical about some stories my Great Uncles would tell, like: "I'm not kidding, she rode her horse right into the hotel and started shooting bottles!", which is one of the things Mr. Herne talks about in this book.
There are a LOT of books written about the same adventurers in Africa, from varying viewpoints, but this book contained some little known facts about countries, people, cultures, that you may not have ever heard about before.

a Civilization gone with the wind
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I would recommend it to anyone who ever laid in a tent at night reading the adventures of J.A. Hunter by flashlight and fantasizing of someday owning a Holland & Holland D/B .500 Nitro Express
What did you like best about this story?
The history of professional hunters in East Africa.
Any additional comments?
A great read.
I now want to go back and re-read Hunter by Hunter, Bell of Africa, and all the adventures of Kenneth Anderson.
This was a good accounting of the “heroes” that I remember reading as a kid growing up in the 60s. I would recommend it to anyone who ever laid in a tent at night reading the adventures of J.A. Hunter by flashlight and fantasizing of someday owning a Holland & Holland D/B .500 Nitro Express.
But it was also bittersweet. I couldn’t help but be reminded somewhat of the forward from a very famous 1939 movie:
“There was a land of Cavaliers and Cotton Fields called the Old South. Here in this pretty world, Gallantry took its last bow. Here was the last ever to be seen of Knights and their Ladies Fair, of Master and of Slave. Look for it only in books, for it is no more than a dream remembered, a Civilization gone with the wind.”

White Hunters
Well worth the credit! Although I've traveled to over 25 countries, I've never been to Africa (it's on my bucket list), and this book rekindled my wish to visit that part of the world. Although mainly about big game hunting, and the fascinating people involved in that arena, this book is also about Africa. I enjoyed the non-hunting historical background info that was interwoven in this story. I have only "hunted" with a camera for the past 25 years, but I thoroughly enjoyed this book. However, if you have no interest whatsoever in hunting, or in Africa, you may want to pass on this one. One last note: I found the narrator to be excellent, and very easy to listen to.

Short Enthralling Chapters
This book is broken into 40+ chapters chronologically from the inception of Safari hunting in Africa. Mostly it focuses on Kenya, Tanzania and a bit on Uganda. The accounts of hunts as they led up to killing lions, buffalo, elephants and other animals are very detailed. One can imagine the dense grass thickets that wily cats hid in to often reverse the humans advantage and many times the hunters were gored, killed or forced to retreat up a tree. There is a bit at the end about how the desire for ivory soared in Asia and led to the mass killing of elephants for 20 years. By banning ivory trafficking it sure seems like the price increased significantly. Anyway, there were far too many characters to keep the relationships straight,nevertheless this was an excellent listen and since it was part of Audible Plus it was a bonus for me. Why Audible can create an Audible Unlimited model is lost on me. When my trial is over I will continue with Scribd, which pulled me away from expensive Audible for several years. Come on Jeff give customers what they want. You are already filthy rich.

Excitement and Tragedy go hand-in-hand
White Hunters is a nostalgic insight into the lives of some of the most influential hunters and conservationists to shape the reputation and history of East Africa.
I am not a hunter, but a conservationist and naturalist. Hunting is an imporatnt, indeed crucial, component of conservation in Africa and this audiobook chronicles the events that led to the beginings of Wildlife Conservation, the National Parks service and today's Photo Safaris. But it is more than this, 'White Hunters' is a rolling adventure story, pockmarked with passion, intrigue, excitment and tragedy.
I must admit, I was hoping for a 'Capstick-style' series of adventures and was initially slightly disappointed with the all-too-brief descriptions of wildlife encounters, but as I got into the book, it became clear that, like my fellow reviewer here, no additional sensationalism was needed.
I have only given this a 4/5, because I ocassioanlly wished there was additional detail to go with the Safari Adventures, and although that would make the book double its already-long-length, it would be even more of a joy.
This is an audiobook for those interested in Colonial History, Hunting, Wildlife, Real Adventure and most importantly, Africa.

Brilliant Book
This unabridged insight into the history of big game hunting takes you straight to the heart of Africa, once famous names like Carr-Hartley and Selous are bought to life by the fantastically clipped colonial tones of the narrator. Unlike authors of the genre such as Capstick it doesn't over dramatise the events, they don't need it, it simply sets the scene and tells the story. Despite being written by a "Big White Hunter" it sympathetically deals with the socio-political issues that shaped much of Africa and that where ultimately to do more damage to the pursuit of big game than any poacher ( or well meaning conservationalist) ever could. A simply superb epithet to a bye gone age.

wildlife passion as it was enjoyed
What made the experience of listening to White Hunters the most enjoyable?
When you've got the hunting passion, this is a lovely historical revival of how things were in Africa. In a different era. Hard and harsh, crude and rude, enjoying the tales of a wide variety of hunter: many great and respectful and some just silly and stupid.
In all a lovely book to enjoy part of these past passions.
