Does Hemingway's Africa still exist?
You can still get a taste of it. As mentioned, Tanzania has areas, as does the Luangwa Valley in Zambia. I went there just last summer, and as far as remote it is. Camp 6 hours by vehicle from the nearest real town. Local villagers wear hand me down Western clothes and kids have a school of sorts, but still live in grass huts. Game is still there, the rivers full of crocs and hippos, and the lions roar at night.
Hemingway went to Uganda for his last safari, if I'm remembering. Not really interested in going there right now.
So yes, for a price you can still see some "wild" Africa, very similar to what Hemingway and Ruark experienced. Won't be available much longer, I fear.
