African Safari Hunting
I have been a big fan of African safari hunts for a long time – ever since my grand father first took me. Of course, my grampa was the real deal. African safari hunting was not something that he took lightly – not at all. You see, good old gramps was a British civil servant, and part of the long tradition of colonial rule that prided itself on its marksmanship as much as on its professionalism and its service to the crown and country. You really could say that African safari hunting was in our blood, ever since my great grandfather worked for the British East India tea company. The fact is, for members of the British nobility, hunting has always been a whole lot more than just simply a matter of sport. It is a tradition which dates all the way back before the mob rule more popularly known as democracy in this insane modern rule. Although fox hunting is an older, and in some ways a richer tradition, for many Brits, African safari hunting has become just as key a part of their lifestyle as has the older form of hunting.
Really, you can not beat African safari hunting for the thrill anyway. The fox hunt does come close to African safari hunting, but in the end it does not compete. There are all of the jumps and courses, the baying of the hound, the tricks and dodges of the fox, and so on. But none of these facts compares to the terror and awe of facing off against a full grown African rhino with nothing but a high powered large caliber rifle and your wits about you to defend yourself against the wrathful brute. If you have never tried African safari hunting, my god are you ever in for a treat. Everything about the land – its climate, its people, its animals – has a heated, and feverish temper, even up to this day, and you really can not find such excitement among our own cultured and sedate countrymen. Just think about African safari hunting – the hot day dawning over the barren veldt, gazelle busy running frantically away from wild tigers in the distance, your guide with his silent, instinctual knowledge of the landscape. African safari hunting is really a terrific game, one which brings back the best days of the empire. There is just no substitute, as far as I am concerned.
