Sinopse
African Adventure is a 1963 children's book by the Canadian-born American author Willard Price featuring his "Adventure" series characters, Hal and Roger Hunt. On Safari in Uganda, Hal and Roger manage to capture a varied collection of African animals including hippo, hyena, cape buffalo, and leopard. But their efforts are threatened by the antics of fraudulent White Hunter "Colonel" Benjamin Bigg, and by a member of the Leopard Society who is out to kill them.
