Hunting in East Africa and India
Published: Trophy Room Books, Agoura CA. USA, 2010
"In Tanganyika during the 1950s, one of the most intriguing reputations belonged to a hunter whom few in the fraternity had actually ever encountered face to face." That is how Brian Herne introduces Jorge sw Lima in his own book, White Hunters. Jorge was "a man who genuinely lived to hunt. (And) there has never been a hunter anywhere in Africa, at any time, who has ever come close to matching his exploits in so many different territories." De Lima arrived in Africa in 1948 and 10 years he hunted mainly on his own and primarily for ivory. Then, in the 1950s, when new regulations and changing political winds foreshadowed changes in his nomadic lifestyle, Jorge became involved in the more structured safari business. During his career, which extended until almost 1970, he took clients hunting in Tanganyika, and in Kenya. In Tanganyika, he formed a small safari company with Stanley Lawrence-Brown. He also had hunting concessions of his own, Kirongozi Safari Company in Angola and Kirongozi Mozambique which later merged with Werner von Alvenslebend's Mozambique Safariland. Both of his companies were widely known and highly regarded throughout the then international hunting community. Signed and numbered 410 of 1000 copies. Published by Trophy Room Books.
