A chance meeting around a safari campfire on the banks of the Mupamadazi River leads to The Last Ivory Hunter: The Saga of Wally Johnson , a grand tale of African adventure by renowned hunting author Peter Hathaway Capstick.
Wally Johnson spent half a century in Mozambique hunting white gold―ivory. Most men died at this hazardous trade. He’s the last one able to tell his story.
In hours of conversations by mopane fired in the African bush, Wally described his career―how he survived the massive bite of a Gaboon viper, buffalo gorings, floods, disease, and most dangerous of all, gold fever. He bluffed down 200 armed poachers almost single-handedly, and survived rocket attacks from communist revolutionaries during Mozambique’s plunge into chaos in 1975.
In Botswana, at age 63, Wally continued his career. Though the great tuskers have largely gone and most of Wally’s colleagues are dead, Wally has survived. His words are rugged testimony to an Africa that is now a distant dream.

Here’s an interesting bit of history re poaching.
The nub of Operation Stronghold was the so-called shoot-to-kill policy. During
the years of the ‘rhino warfare’ in Zimbabwe the parks department has arguably sustained one of the most systematic and deadly anti-poaching efforts any country has ever undertaken . Glenn Tatham justified the use of ’shoot-to-kill’ as a last-resort decision of the ranger on the ground.
In clashes with poachers, rangers were faced with the situation of having to
defend themselves, and in so doing poachers sometimes lost their lives. Tatham was concerned to explain that the rangers were carrying out their duties and protecting the national heritage in the same way that police would protect a bank vault against armed robbers.In contrast, The Times of Zambia accused Zimbabwean game wardens of being ‘gun happy’.This was partly because the war on poachers began only four years after the end of the liberation war. A number of white parks officers who had served in the Rhodesian army found themselves together once again to combat a new enemy. 1990 was the first year in which more poachers were killed than rhinos. This news was welcomed in conservation circles and it was thought that the parks department was at last winning the rhino wars
