There are a multitude of good books on Africa hunting. The above are only a small sample of my favorites.
And, Yes, I have read all of Capstick's books and found them entertaining. I met Capstick at a SCI convention several weeks prior to his death, and found him to be very much like his writings, Viz: Entertaining. IMO, he would've been a "hoot" at a party.
Having said that, his writings didn't influence my decision to book my first African safari. That fire was lit when I was twelve years of age, and read MAN EATERS OF KUMOAN by James Corbett. Albiet not Africa, Corbett was my hero. India was out, but Africa was on the horizon. Thirty-eight years later, I was in Zimbabwe on my first safari.
The other books recommended are all good reads as well. If you have the time, read 'em all.
