ON SAFARI The Story of a Man’s Life in Search of Adventure by Armand Denis Illustrated with sixty-four pages of superb photographs Armand Denis is one of those rare people who has always known what her wanted from life- and, rare still, has attained it. A Belgian born U.S. citizen, now residing in Nairobi, he has been a novice monk, and explorer, a photographer, and inventor. From his youth he has traveled the world in search of adventure, and the result has been an uncanny range of experiences-from a bizarre journey to a hidden mountain kingdom in Nepal, to capturing dangerous gorillas in the Belgian Congo. Abounding with unusual incidents and unforgettable le anecdotes, his auto biography is a personal adventure story of great color and excitement. Mr.. Denis says in his auto “The only principle I have ever worked to has always been to do whatever interested me at the time. I have gambled quite consciously with myself and with my career.” “And”, one might add, “with my life”. He has traveled to Bali on a freighter with a huge Galapagos turtle as his companion; directed Frank Buck in Ceylon in one of his famous Bring ‘Em Back Alive adventure films; journeyed across Africa in search of a legendary four-tusked elephant ; lassoed giraffe, eland, zebra, and ostrich; accompanied a tribe of pygmies on an extraordinary elephant hunt; and explored the beautiful Ngorongoro crater While Armand Denis has lived exactly the life he would choose, at the same time he has had the supreme satisfaction of finding that he has been doing something worthwhile.
