In "The African Scene," two misadventurous boys, Francis and Peter, accidentally sail from New York to Africa after mistaking a tramp steamer for the Staten Island Ferry. Stranded in a wild new world, they decide to turn their predicament into an opportunity by offering safari tours—starting with a very unusual photo shoot for a client who wants to capture a zebra. Written by Paul S. Newman and illustrated by David Gantz, this whimsical 1959 adventure blends humor and exotic setting, with Gantz handling both the interior art and the cover.

In "The Sorry Safari," Francis and Peter accidentally sail to Africa after mistaking a tramp steamer for the Staten Island Ferry, then decide to earn their way home by guiding safaris.

In "Among the Cannibals," Francis and Peter find themselves captured by a jungle tribe with a very dangerous appetite—only Francis’s sudden, unexpected confidence turns the tide, as the cannibals mistake him for a deity. When an enemy tribe launches a surprise attack, the chaos offers the two explorers a chance to escape, but not before the jungle proves even more unpredictable than they ever imagined.
