Oil, 16x20"
Price on request

This painting depicts one of the many challenges experienced by early safaris in East Africa.

In the early 1900s many well known big game hunters of the time, such as Blixen, Judd, Foran and even Roosevelt, ventured into the little known and unruly area known as the Lado Enclave (Belgian Congo).

It was a hazardous exercise to move a safari safely through the bush and ford the many rivers and other bodies of water.

In this painting a rogue bull elephant has suddenly emerged from the dense growth at the river’s edge and challenged the safari.

Read more about this and other similar incidents in Volume II of Seerey-Lester’s book Legends of the Hunt - Campfire Tales, due out in 2012.
