    One of the Best Hunting Adventures You'll Read!
  

*by D***O on Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2013*

I bought this book for research on my next novel, and could not have found a better book about a true African safari.Gone are the days of Big-Game hunting, and glorious safaris that captured the heart and minds of adventurers from the 1950s. 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.
