The White Bushman

Peter Stark is the legendary white Bushman who writes about his experiences in the former German South West Africa. He tells his fascinating history of his life first as farm manager and lion catcher and later as nature conservationist with a phenomenal knowledge of the veld, the wildlife, the San and the people living there. His stories and experiences that many of us only dream about makes for entertaining reading such as the tale of lions chasing San helpers and riveting stories about elephants. With the assistance of best-selling author, Doc Immelman, Stark has given us an important cultural-historic perspective on Namibia. The pictures, most taken by Stark himself contribute to this experience of these adventures. The Afrikaans text sold very well in South Africa and the publisher received phone calls from school boys who wanted to know when the next book will appear. Stark tells the reader a lot about the Bushmen people without ever falling into an academic style.
