Awhile back someone asked for a list of what gear and food went along on a safari of bygone days. I cant find the post now but ive found a book from around 1910 that lists everything they took along, what all the natives did that they hired and lots of other logistics that other authors omit. The book is “IN AFRICA Hunting Adventures In Big Game Country” by John T. McCutcheon. The book is probably available as an ebook through your local library.
World's most popular community & resource for hunting in Africa since 2007

Hello. I see you hunted with Sampie recently. If you don't mind me asking, where did you hunt with him? Zim or SA? And was it with a bow? What did you hunt?
I am possibly going to book with him soon.

Currently doing a load development on a .404 Jeffrey... it's always surprising to load .423 caliber bullets into a .404 caliber rifle. But we love it when we get 400 Gr North Fork SS bullets to 2300 FPS, those should hammer down on buffalo. Next up are the Cutting Edge solids and then Raptors... load 200 rounds of ammo for the customer and on to the next gun!
