An Autobiography that Reads Like an Adventure Novel
I am about halfway finished with Greg du Toit's Wilderness Dreams, and I can't seem to get any work done for wanting to stop and read this book. It is so interesting, compelling, and funny! This man has had a lifetime of experience in the African bush, beginning when he was just a lad, and his description of his experiences working as a gofer in a walking safari trails camp are delightful, hysterical, and terrifying, all in one. I would recommend this book to any armchair adventurer who likes a fast-paced story as well as to folks who know Greg's work and can appreciate what it has taken to get him where he is today, a superb and acclaimed wildlife photographer.
