Funny old cartoon, but definitely from the colonial German point of view. Goose stepping giraffe, and muzzling the crocs. The English racking the native, feeding them at one end, and turning out ? at the other end as a product, while preaching God to the native. The French men loving the black girls, hay JB, black panthers??? The Belgium roasting the black man and eating him like a cannibal.

A different point of view, and not all that incorrect in colonial days.

I think the gentleman on the left side is filling cheap alcohol into the native and the soldier is pressing money out of him

must have sketch around 1900 by someone who never leave europe like most people in those days.right or wrong? like allways a fifty fifty chance!


Queen Farida of Egypt
thats also africa, no doubt a best gun

I had this once in a lifetime opportunity to join a group of hunters/Member of BASA "Hunting the Great hunters".

We met Harry Salby, John Dugmore, Fred Bartlet (not long before he passed), Ian Mcfarlen and some more true hunting legends and was guided by Ken Steward someone i will for always call one of my hero's, we went in their homes, looked at their photo albums and the collections they had on the walls of photos in their young days..
Spent time listening to stories and even looked at legendary rifles, i would most likely never be able to buy..

This was one truly amazing experience, i just wish i had some of their photos and stories i could share here, they where a breed of hunters on their own, taming africa on safari :-)

the hippo looks realy huge.
grandveneur, I was seeing a documentary film about the Djoudj national park and look a little bit whats possible today in senegal also. pigs and birds are not bad in the end the price is good for seeing something different.
http://chasseausenegal.onlc.fr/

is there more than one outfitter today in senegal? whats with plainsgame? I understand that most of the native's follow the islam in a modest way so the pigs are a NO-NO. other game ends as bushmeat where ever they see it?

There are a lot of outfitters for combi-hunts birds and warthog . The problem is that the hunting areas are near of the borders of Mauretania or Mali . Not a very good address today ! The local people are all muslims but that's not a problem in Senegal ( to date ! ) .
