... Today Africa has become a place to just show off wealth, or piss away your retirement if you're poor and dumb. ...
What do you base that on? My actual experience is completely different. The guys I hunted with are salt of the earth guys who are a pleasure to hunt with. They charge just enough to make a living and they are damn good at their job. The actual cost per animal is a bargain compared to US guided hunts, and the experience of seeing hundreds of animals every day is priceless.
And to the point, I just started reading Green Hills of Africa.
