I'm currently reading Kringe in 'n Bos by Dalene Matthee. It is a great book about a hunter in South Africa that is hunting an elephant. The elephant has killed a lot of people including the hunter's nephew. The book documents his journey as he searches for the elephant but is lead in circles. So far it is a great book, I'll let you know what I think when I've finished it.

But memories got left behind while you kept walking on; every time you had to retrace your steps further to return to your memories, and sometimes it was better not to turn back at all.

The longer you explore a rain forest, the more captivating it becomes ,and all the time it’s mysteries deepen.
