Safari in the Age of Kenyatta.

- Abstract
The article presents information on the safari that Ernest Hemingway, the noted English language novelist and his wife, Mary Hemingway, took in Africa. The European expropriation and colonization resulted in Mau Mau rebellion in Africa during that time. The Hemingways went on their safari, arriving in Mombassa on August 1953, in the background of the rebellion. They were granted permission to hunt in a game reserve normally closed to sport shooting. The colonial government was ready to supply them with abundant animals and photo opportunities. The Hemingways lived, hunted, took photographs, observed wildlife, and interacted with the local people and colonial officials mainly in Kenya and Tanganyika for five months.
