“After traveling over the ocean and hunting different species of animals and visiting different cultures, my passion to return to Africa was strong. An Arab proverb that I read stated that once you drink from an Arab spring, you will return to drink again; and so, I was hooked for a second trip. I received a call from the outfitter in Houston, Texas asking me to go again to acquire the bongo in the southeastern region of Cameroon. The bongo was as elusive a creature as the Lord Derby. – Chapter 2, Southern Cameroon, March 1999
