Tracking the Memory

by Kevin Thomas, Virtual Voice (Narrator)

Tracking the Memory is primarily a collection of informative and personal stories about the different experiences of hunting. It is also the culmination of a boyhood enterprise of exploration and discovery that began on a farm in the Chipinga area of British colonial Rhodesia (Zimbabwe) during the mid-1950s, and continued along the banks of the majestic Sabi (Save) River, and lives to this day 65 years on as a lifetime career and passion of the author. Kevin Thomas is first a professional hunter but thankfully he is also a writer, and as such we have this collection of first hand accounts of what it is like to straddle both the romantic, adventurous side of hunting and the modern commercial aspect of an often controversial industry. Hunting is now a business but we must always remember it was once a way of life.

Excellent overall look at the safari business in Africa yesterday and today

This book was written several years ago yet I found this book to be an interesting look at the then current status of game hunting in parts of Africa – mainly Zimbabwe. Mr. Thomas‘s life experiences as a game Ranger, professional hunter, and safari guide lend a unique insiders truth to his stories and warnings about the current status of wildlife and parts of South Africa. I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in knowing the African history and perhaps the future of wildlife management existence in Africa.
