up with the writings of H Rider Haggard and Ernest Hemingway or if your childhood Saturday afternoons were taken up with the Tarzan movies you may well have been conditioned to think of Africa as the ultimate travel destination for the adventurous Who can forget the impact of Clark Gables authentic portrayal of a white hunter in John Fords 1953 classic film The mystique of the safari still has a grip on countless travellers although hunting is banned in most countries of the Dark Continent and most of the shooting is done with cameras The history of the great African safaris and of tbe famous adven turers such as David Liv ingstone I presume and Teddy Roosevelt is absorbingly related in a new book Safari A Chronicle of Adventure by Bartle Bull Penguin Books Canada 383 pages EMPTYHANDED Bull is a New York lawyer and former hunter who now prefers to scout the African bush with neither camera nor gun but with an arm ed companion His book is a sweeping history of Africa itself as much as a history of the development of the safari from the early 19th century It is generously illustrated with hun dreds of period and contemporary photographs sketches and maps Bull displays a special respect for those professional hunters of the past who abided by a strict code the first tenet of which was to respect the animals and never to abandon an injured animal to its suffering The long frustrating stalks are the heart of the hunt he writes not the senseless insistence upon a daily trophy which characterizes some trigger happy visitors STORY OF AFRICA The nature of the safari has changed steadily over the years as has tbe political nature of Africa itself Before the Second World War wildlife was abundant making some degree of culling essential to the survival of the herds and the visitors tended to be tbe royal the rich and the famous The end of the war brought the beginnings of a revolution in travel and slowly more and more visitors of less exalted status were drawn to Africa Groups of ex perienced hunters incorporated themselves into safari organizers and wholesalers to handle the in flux The advent of the four wheel- drive vehicle Land Rover in later the Toyota Land Cruiser made it possible to go deeper into the bush andfaster But as former colonies political independence in the 1950s and 1960s the new rulers took an anti safari position You hunters are the largest single colonial relic left in Tanzania Prime Minister said in shutting down hunting there SAFARIS STOPPED Tanzanias neighbor Kenya banned hunting in 1977 dung the need to preserve the existing herds of wild animals In Africa however things dont always work out the way one would think Since Kenya has en dured a rise in poaching the il legal killing of wildlife bribery and corruption and a decline in the wildlife population especially the elephant and the rhinoceros Bull quotes estimates that the size of Africas elephant herds is diminishing by per cent annual ly standing currently at about 730000 elephants on the entire con tinent The core of the problem he says is the rapid growth of the human population which necessitates the constant expansion of agricultural land and therefore reduction of the animals range Kenyas population has risen from eight million 30 years ago to about 23 million currently 30 years from now there could be close to 80 million Kenyans trying to survive with the same area of land and tbe same amount of water as today BAN REVERSED Tanzania lifted its ban on wildlife hunting a few years ago However todays biggame hun ting in that country is limited to the very rich simply by the costs about per week for a party of two shooting clients royalty fees of to the Tanzanian govern ment for game licenses and trophy costs plus the airfare necessary to get to Tanzania Little wonder then that nearly all safaris today are comprised of groups of people armed only with Kodaks and binoculars The author who first went on safari 30 years ago has little liking for to days professional hunters dismissing them as bush chaiif who take tourists on safari pausing at predictable game spots and escorting photographers as they peep through the roof decks of recreational vehicles and upholstered zebra painted mini vans His cynicism is perhaps understandable given Bulls close lifelong identification with Africa and its environmental concerns In this decade however or dinary people in places like North American can for the first time afford to travel to Africa and to spend a couple of thousand dollars to view animals in their natural setting and bask in the beauty of the wild African environment the strange flowers and the anthills the wind and the afternoon rains the that fill the night TODAYS SAFARI Organizers such as Abercrombie and Kent International Inc of Oak Brook are experts at arrang ing conducted photographic safaris to the regions of Kenya in cluding the Masai Mara where author Bull used to hunt Driving ones own car is virtual ly out of the question in Kenya where the wildlife almost the sole lure for visitors ranges widely where no roads go But the doityourself safari driver can rant a car and move at will throughout South Africas giant National Park stay ing overnight in plain simple and inexpensive staterun rest camps dotted through the park In either case the safari is an un forgettable experience Exotic birds and wild beasts Exotic birds and wild animals roam freely at the Barbados Wildlife Reserve a project of the Barbados Primate Research Cen tre which is headed by Jean Baulu a Canadian primatologist Mr Baulu established the reserve in 1985 with seed money from the Canadian International Develop ment Agency The sanctuary located on four acres of mahogany forest allows visitors the unique opportunity to closely observe free ranging animals in their natural habitat The acquisition of wildlife has been done selectively to maintain compatibility of the animals In the forest Most of the wildlife has been Introduced to the reserve through a number of sources Tor toises hares muscovey ducks bantams peacocks and guinea fowls have been donated through the efforts of many generous Bar badians Agoutis and opossums are a gift of the Forestry Department in St Lucia Swans otters wallabies and pythons were ac quired from the Zoo In England The caymans come from Guyana A highlight of the visit is the feeding of the large community of green monkeys Every day at four oclock these shy elusive creatures feast on seasonal fruits vegetables and specially mixed grains The latest attraction is a walk in aviary featuring brilliantly colored macaws cockatoos toucans love birds parrots and pelicans In addition to viewing the wildlife ancient artifacts from sugar cane factories are on display Of particular note the winding brick path that leads through the reserve is made of bricks used in the construction of boiler furnaces ANDY KING Representative 8731 0S6 Entitles You To A PROFESSIONAL
