David Lucero’s Reviews > Safari: The Last Adventure > Status Update

The author takes readers on a journey into the African bush. His book is full of tongue in cheek dialogue.

The makes a good point about leaving the search for a wounded leopard to the professional. There’s no indignation considering one goes on safari for a lifetime adventure, not to have your guts excavated by a cat fighting for its life.

The author states elephants are the most difficult to track. They are constantly on the move and you must be ready for anything.

Capstick warns it's a good idea to keep one cartridge handy in case you're in a kill-or-be-killed situation. Of course the safer bet would be to not bother with hunting to begin with.

The brings up strong points and emphasis on safety when on Safari. One can enjoy the wonders of Africa, but what good is it if you come back home in a coffin?

Capstick makes good on the importance of having a reliable rifle on the hunt. It could mean your life or death.

Capstick points out the importance of travel gear and doing research on what to expect when on safari. All good points we likely take for granted.

Capstick explains in easy-to-understand what to expect when going on Safari. He writes with tongue-in-cheek style that gives the reader the feeling he's on safari crossing the Mara River and witnessing great herds of wildlife in their natural habitat.

Safari: The Last Adventure begins with more tongue-in-cheek dialogue about the do's and don't's of the vacation of a lifetime. It's on my bucket list to do this when I turn 59-1/2 and can dip into my Roth IRA savings. Two and half years to go!

Capstick explains the history of how safaris came to light. The historical 'Lunatic Express' allowed people to travel by rail car 560 miles to the hunting grounds vs. ox-wagon which might have taken weeks or months. His writing style and details are second to none!
