Title: Okavango
Author: June Kay
Synopsis: For enterprise and originality there could be few more remarkable expeditions than those undertaken by June Kay with her husband, sons, pet lions, dogs, hens and cat in war-time amphibious D.U.K.W. In it thy traversed the Chobe, a little-explored tributary of the Zambezi, before plunging into the wilds of Ngamiland.Everything came their way, from crocodile shooting and rogue hippopotami to a collision with a heard of elephants, yet June Kay's love for animals remains staunchly unabated in the fascinating stories she has to tell of the ones they kept as pets, in particular the two lions which they brought up as cubs and which traveled about with them, as tame and full of character as domestic dogs. She and her husband have known and lived in Southern Africa for many years, and in Okavango we realize that here is still a dark continent - full of the mystery of little known regions such as the wilds of Bechuanaland, where crocodile eyes glow in the hundreds in the swamps by night and where the author witnessed that most curious and little credited of animal ceremonies, and elephant funeral.Mrs. Kay's infectious humour and candour make Okavango a vivid and stimulating addition to the literature of Tropical Africa and a delightful book for reading in surroundings of comparative ease.
