Great African Trophies is a photographic showcase of some of the greatest game trophies ever taken on the Dark Continent, from elephants, buffalo, and the big cats to the spiral-horned antelopes and dozens of other magnificent animals. The focus is on animals that rank in the top five of each species in the Safari Club International and Rowland Ward record books, but also included are a variety of historic, unlisted, and little-known trophies, along with their stories. This book is chock-full of photos of the largest African game animals, each accompanied by a description of where, when, and how the animal was taken, as well as details about the hunt and how it unfolded. From the story of Powell-Cotton’s record elephant taken in 1906 to a series of record-breaking mountain nyalas shot in Ethiopia in just the past five years, these photos and stories trace the history of hunting and wildlife management in Africa over the course of more than a century. A feast for the eyes of anyone who loves African wildlife, this book contains the best available historical and modern photos of superlative African game animals, as well as the tales—many never before told—of the hunters who were fortunate to connect with them.
