Author/artist Mike Norris who was born and raised in Kenya grew up with the Safari in his blood, working as a marshal in control points as a teenager. He came to South Africa in 1967 but forever retained his passion for this great rally. As a self-taught artist in oils, examples from his portfolio of landscapes and seascapes, and his detailed studies of aircraft and vintage tractors, have found their way into many homes and offices within South Africa and in other countries too. Two years ago it was suggested to him by a friend who knew his interest in the Safari that he wrote a book about it. Norris claimed that it had been already done before by four or five authors – well and comprehensively. “Then why don't you paint a book with a car or two per year for maybe the first twenty years?”- those being regarded as the halcyon years of this event. So he did.
