" When George Michael, one of the most famous hunters in all Africa, hung up his rifle and decided that from then on he would do all his shooting with a camera instead, few could have guessed at the success which so quickly would come to him. Now through the medium of his book and film, African Fury, and his television series, his family - Marjorie his wife, and Carole and June, their two young daughters - have an enormous following. They are, in fact, the only real family in the world who go out on safari as a family, and who make a film of their experiences when they happen, as they happen".
