I can pretend I have read quite a lot of Africana books but
if I get shored on an island with only one book I'd opt for

ALEXANDER LAKE : KILLERS IN AFRICA,

which can rivalize with its counterpart from John Pondoro. " 'The Truth About Animals Lying In Wait And Hunters Lying In Print'" to summarize it.
A really vivid book.
the other book of AL ,HUNTER's CHOICE which title is ringing like some book from Hunter is also sheer fun.

More good news, they are cheap.
Just ask Erik his opinion on Killers in Africa.
