Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book details the thrilling escapades of a party of big game hunters in British East Africa in 1913. They set out from Nairobi equipped with modern rifles and cameras, intent on documenting the incredible variety of African wildlife and recording their adventures. The author, a captain of industry and first-time safari participant, was joined by a cadre of expert hunters in search of the continent's most prized trophies. They quickly encountered giraffe, zebra, and wildebeest, but the buffaloes and other larger prey proved more elusive and dangerous. The challenges of navigating the untamed wilderness included treacherous terrain and the risk of fatal encounters with lions, rhinos, and crocodiles. This book offers a vivid account of the challenges and rewards of hunting in Africa at the turn of the century, exposing the dangers involved in pursuing these legendary animals in a time when their numbers were far greater than they are today.
