Karamojo Safari is the tale of Walter Bell's epic journey into Karamojo (now Uganda & Kenya). Bell's safari lasted 14 months, and during that time he shot 180 elephants and brought back 18,762 pounds of ivory. Of these, 31 tusks weighed over 100 pounds each, and the largest pair weighed in at 145 and 148 pounds. His trip netted Bell £6000 profit. (Kirkus Review) Walter Dalrymple Maitland Bell (8 September 1880 - 30 June 1954), known as Karamojo Bell, was a Scottish adventurer, big game hunter in East Africa, soldier, decorated fighter pilot, sailor, writer, and painter. Famous as one of the most successful ivory hunters of his time, Bell was an advocate of accurate shot placement with smaller calibre rifles, over the heavy large-bore rifles his contemporaries used for big African game. He improved his hunting skills by the dissection and study of the skulls of elephants he shot. He perfected a technique of shooting elephants from the extremely difficult position, diagonally behind the target; this shot became known as the Bell Shot. Although chiefly known for his exploits in Africa, Bell also travelled to North America and New Zealand, sailed windjammers, saw service in South Africa during the Boer War, flew in the fledging Royal Flying Corps in East Africa, Greece and France during World War I. He wrote 3 books about his hunting experiences and exploits: 'The Wanderings of an Elephant Hunter'; 'Karamojo Safari'; and 'Bell of South Africa.'

A foaming cleanser that doesn't dry out my skin!
Style: Tolerance Daily Foaming Facial Cleanser
I have very dry, reactive skin and initially looked past this face wash because it is foaming which is usually a no-go for my skin. I am pleasantly surprised with how well my skin tolerated this product. No dryness or irritation and my face felt clean. I also love that it is fragrance free because fragrances seem to really irritate my skin and who needs to smell their face wash? I am happy to say this is another great product from Avene!

Gentle cleanser for dry and sensitive skin.
Style: Tolerance Daily Foaming Facial Cleanser, Style: Tolerance Daily Foaming Facial Cleanser
I have dry and sensitive skin, and this cleanser has worked very well for me. It is very gentle on the skin and has not caused any irritation. The texture is light and foamy, it spreads easily across the face and rinses off without leaving any residue. After using it, my skin feels clean, soft, and comfortable, without any tightness. The size is quite large, which I find great because it lasts a long time with daily use. Overall, a simple but very pleasant cleanser for sensitive skin.

Exquisite, Perfection, Stunning!
Size: Gallery
Perfect in every way! I bought this statue to go in a special place in my backyard. But, once I opened it up and saw how beautiful it is, I changed my mind! I have it sitting right in the center of our fireplace mantel, with a candle on each side. The detail is PERFECT, and there is not one flaw to be seen anywhere! Before I bought it, I noticed that one person was critical of it, and I think they were saying that it had some imperfections. But, the one I got is truly perfect, exquisite! It arrived quickly, in just a few days. It is packaged in a thick styrofoam that gives it maximum protection. If you are thinking about buying one of these, I would recommend it highly! What's not to love?
