Deschryver was at times a planter, elephant hunter, bush pilot, and one-time government military officer who gradually moved into conservation and established the first site on the continent where tourists could visit and view wild gorillas in their habitat. He was close to various prominent African conservationists of that era: Bernhard Grzimek, Iain and Oria Douglas-Hamilton, Dian Fossey, James Chapin, and Jacques Verschuren.
Deschryver asked Robert Whitehead to act as his penman for this book while Whitehead taught in the city of Bukavu on Lake Kivu in the Albertine Rift, the branch of the Great Rift Valley of Africa.
Impromptu sessions took place in the author's living room, or Deschryver's, during which he recalled stories, told vignettes, and expounded on whatever topic came to mind. While he was sometimes more interested in recounting conquests (romantic and otherwise), military feats, and topics beyond gorillas, the account of a remarkable life slowly emerged.
