...Originally
published in 1924, this book covers the Johnson's first trip to Africa
between 1921 and 1923 which resulted in the film "Trailing African
Wild Animals".
...Spending time in the
Ithanga Hills and Athi Plains around Nairobi, they familiarize themselves
with filming in unfamiliar surroundings and managing a safari, before the
climatic trip to Lake Paradise in Northern Kenya....While
on safari, they describe their long hours spent in photo blinds, being
chased by rhino in the Chobe Hills and meeting Boran herdsmen at Marsabit.
...They spend three months at Lake Paradise which
is just a prelude to their trip in 1924 when they return to film and
photograph for four years in Northern Kenya....Those
years are vivdly described in Martin's book "Safari" and
Osa's "Four Years in Paradise". |
