WOW, STEVE. I HAVE BEEN HUNTING PROFESSIONALLY FOR 14 YEARS AND I
CAN HONESTLY SAY I HAVE LEARNED A LOT FROM 'HOW TO BECOME A

new Professional Hunters on the right track, but will also be used as
a reference for those of us that has been hunting for some time. If
there was a book like this when I started it would have made my first
few years a lot easier, you say it the way it is! A book that will be
referred to as the future Professional Hunter's 'bible'. JASON VAN

How did I become a Professional Hunter in Africa?
I was very lucky indeed in that my first few years' experience which
counted as my, somewhat unusual, Professional Hunting apprenticeship
was in a more relaxed generation.
By chance I met and become friends with the now late Vivian Good who
kindly gave me that Professional Hunting apprenticeship. He was not
only an excellent PH but also a good man who gave unstintingly of his
advice, encouragement, hospitality and friendship.
I struck lucky again when I went along to undergo my first formal
Professional Hunter training and examination with Ian Goss of the Goss
Estates Professional Hunting Academy in Kwa Zulu Natal.
-------------------------
IT FEELS LIKE I AM DOING MY PH CAREER ALL OVER AGAIN.
A lot of flashes back into my life, if you know what I mean. It
reads easily, it's clear and very understandable. I can even use some
of it in my life right now. The only problem with this e-book is that
I should have had it about ten years ago!!!
I can see that it will be the bible for first time and up coming
Professional Hunters. Well done!! WIKUS GROENEWALD - Professional
Hunter - South Africa, Tanzania LETTER-SPACING= 1PX;\">I HAVE HAD THE
GOOD FORTUNE TO HAVE BEEN ON THREE AFRICAN SAFARIS WITH STEVE ROBINSON
AS MY PH. ON EACH OCCASION HIS CAMPS, CONDUCT, KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERTISE
HAVE BEEN A REVELATION AND, HAVING READ HIS EBOOK ON HOW TO BECOME AN
AFRICAN PROFESSIONAL HUNTER, I CAN SEE WHY.
The scope and depth of knowledge required of an African PH is
astounding and it's something you don't fully realise until you've
read this book.
If I were a youngster and looking to become an African PH, this book
would have to be essential reading, indeed, without it, the aspiring
PH would need to spend a long time gathering the information contained
therein by not only research but also by actual experience, and that
sort of experience can take years to obtain.
Additionally, a client reading the book can get a most illuminating
and useful insight into the business, gaining an appreciation of just
what goes into organising an African Safari and the role of the PH.
This will, undoubtedly, give the client a better understanding of what
goes on, leading to a better, more enjoyable, safari. PETER LANG -
Veteran African Hunting Client - UK
GOOD, PRACTICAL ADVICE IN THIS EBOOK ON BUSHCRAFT, CAMP MANAGEMENT,
ARMS AND AMMUNITION, THE INS AND OUTS OF RUNNING A SAFARI BUSINESS,
AND THE LAW AS RELATED TO HUNTING (AND DON'T FORGET HERE THAT TROPHY
HUNTING USUALLY INVOLVES LEGISLATION FROM MORE THAN ONE COUNTRY, AND
AFRICAN GOVERNMENTS TEND TO REGARD CHANGE AS BEING AS GOOD AS
IMPROVEMENT AND ARE FOREVER FIDDLING WITH THEIR LAWS).
The material herein is well-presented, and from the standpoint of
on-the-ground experience, Steve Robinson is more than qualified to
write it - it worked for him! IRA LARIVERS - Editor 'African Hunter
Magazine'

UNIQUE IS A MUCH USED AND INAPPROPRIATELY APPLIED WORD, BUT IT
CERTAINLY DESCRIBES THIS FASCINATING E-BOOK BY STEVE ROBINSON OF
KUDULAND SAFARIS.
Written in a light but authoritative style the author takes you
through the trials and tribulations of becoming part of (and being
successful in) the African Hunting Safari industry. Well illustrated
with colour pictures and peppered with his experiences as an
Englishman who came to Africa some thirty years ago and made a success
of life as a Professional Hunter and Safari Operator, the book really
is an invaluable asset to anyone thinking of a career as an African
PH.
But in truth it is more than that, it is an up to date insight into
the world of Professional Hunting in Africa and will be of as much
interest to clients and African hunting buffs as to prospective
Professionals.
The book is entertainingly structured featuring not only the authors
work but contributions from others, either directly or through links
to the extensive Shakari Connection website.
From Cites to cisterns, buffalo to bullet performance all aspects of
life as a PH are covered. Steve does not pull his punches and quickly
dispels romantic illusions that some might have of the industry.
If you ever wanted to know how to construct a top quality wilderness
hunting camp, manage staff and clients and the thousand other things
that are required of the modern African PH then this is the only
readily available source.
Whilst there has been (and still is) much published from the Safari
client perspective no previous work has addressed the 'other side of
the campfire'. I certainly wish it had been available when I started
my recent path to PH status. Steve and Susan are to be congratulated
on an original and innovative contribution to the industry. JOHN
WILKES - PH Student - Australia
