21 Days In Africa: A Hunter’s Safari Journal, took the award for “2008 Book of the Year.” And, when it came time to name “Best of Show,” an award given to the best journalistic effort in all print and electronic media submissions, 21 Days In Africa again came out on top.

21 Days In Africa isn’t your standard how-to, breast-thumping-greatness book so prevalent in the outdoor genre. It is a personal tale that is high on adventure and emotions. “I didn’t want to write a standard book. What I wanted was to write a book that a veteran of Africa could read and fondly remember the experience of his or her first safari with that child-like wonder they felt at the time, and one which the dreamer could read, see that it is still possible and affordable to go on safari, and then do something about it.”

According to critical reviewers of Donarski’s book he accomplished just that. Critic David Graham writes, “...this book revives the safari genre with verve and honor...long on adventure, short on brag....” Tom Huggler in his review of the book writes, “Ruark would have liked, nay, cheered, this book.” And, from James Handcock, “...beautifully illustrated, nicely bound, and well-written... I rate this as one of the best of the modern books on the subject.”

The book comes in two editions. The first is the trade edition, a hard cover volume with all color photos. The second is a special limited edition of 100. These are leather spined, brillianta-clothed with gold emboss and special end papers, and with a brillianta-clothed slip case. The trade edition retails for $29.95. With shipping and handling and tax it is $37.50 (It is also available in bookstores nation-wide and published by Stackpole Books.) The special edition is only available directly from me. With shipping, handling and taxes it comes to $110.
