1 raditionally the great white hunter of
darkest Africa has been an intrepid professional
born to adventure and privation. Today, how
ever," he is likely to be a vacationing druggist,
mechanic, or farmer like Gordon Klemgard.
Klemgard and his wife, Mabel, of Pullman,
Wash., typify a new democratic era in big-game
hunting. They found a flight to Nairobi, East
Africa, took only a week, and that outfitting a
modern safari cost no more than a European
tour. Privation was also a thing of the past,
thanks to jeeps, portable refrigerators, fresh
linens, and ointments that repel all mosquitos
except those of guided-missile size.
The old-time thrills are unchanged, however,
as Klemgard found when he bagged his first
elephant. "Nobody's giving African safaris
away," he concludes, "but they're not the maha
raja vacations they used to be. And instead of
coming home broke with only a bottle of per
fume, you can console yourself with a pair of
elephant tusks!"
Klemgard's book about his safari, "A Million
Miles with Mabel," has just been published.
