Eight Days in Africa tells the story of my first African safari from start to finish.  Beginning at the time that the trip was first conceived of, following it through the planning stages, and ultimately covering the details of the hunt itself, this work is geared toward the sportsman who might be planning his own first safari. Every detail of the hunt is provided, from the paperwork to the airline reservations to the shots and inoculations required to hunt in South Africa.  If you are considering your own safari and are wondering what all is involved, these pages are dedicated to you.
