Well, let me tell y’all about Diane Dean, known far and wide across East Africa as “Bititi”—which, if ya say it right, sounds like “BEE-tee-tee.” The villagers gave her that name, and in Swahili, it means “strong woman,” so you know she ain’t no pushover.
Now, picture this, partner—back in the golden days of African safaris, when the wilderness stretched as far as the eye could see, Diana set off on her wildest adventure yet.
She started in Nairobi, wandering across Kenya during the rainy season, when all them wild critters come out to play. And wouldn’t ya know it—right there in the thick of it, she spotted a crocodile chasin’ down a mighty forest hog.
That croc didn’t know who it was messin’ with. Diana Dean sits at the top of the food chain.
See, she ain’t just tough as nails—she’s a skilled javelin thrower too. Grabbing a wooden spear, she let it fly and dropped that hog in the blink of an eye. But that croc? Still hungry. It slithered closer, ready to claim the hog for itself.
Diana wasn’t havin’ it. She snatched up her trusty Winchester Model 70, took aim, and—BOOM—sent a bullet straight through that croc’s noggin! You can bet your boots her hunting posse cheered like crazy.
They’d never seen anyone, let alone a woman, take down two beasts in mere minutes.
That night, Diana shared her spoils with the Kikuyu tribe, and they feasted on tusks and tails aplenty. The tale of her legendary hunt spread far and wide, told around campfires across Africa for years to come.
And that, partner, is how Grandma Dean’s Tusk & Tail Package came to be—one wild adventure, just like the woman herself!
