One family, a passion for hunting, the bushmen of the Kalahari and the fascinating environments of the Kalahari and Okavango Delta. There is a lot in the Blackbeard's stories about the Mosarwa desert-dwellers, both those encountered living their traditional hunter / gatherer lives in the wilds of the Kalahari and those who chose to work for the Blackbeards as trackers. The supporting photographs depicting these people, the trophies from the hunts and desert scenes are superb.

From the time Francis Blackbeard first settled in Botswana in 1820 to his modern-day descendants, father Dennis and sons Gavin and Ronnie, this family with their passion for hunting have been leaders of the safari industry in that country. Set in the dry and thirsty Kalahari as well as in the beguiling environment of the Okavango Delta, this book about the professional hunting lives of the Blackbeard family is a fascinating read.
