Synopsis

Wanderings of an Elephant Hunter offers a front-row seat to a life in the bush, where patience, skill, and nerve determine every outcome. This nonfiction memoir blends vivid hunting exploits with practical fieldcraft, insights into rifle work, and sharp observations from years spent across Africa’s wild frontiers.

In these pages, you’ll ride along from the moment a hunter spots a big bull in dense forest to the nerve-wracking moments of close pursuit. You’ll learn about tracking, trap design, and the realities of guiding a safari, as well as the author’s thoughts on different colonial administrations and their impact on native communities.

- Realistic depictions of tracking, stalking, and a hunter’s decision-making under pressure
- Detailed notes on gear, rifles, and how equipment performs in the veld
- Anecdotes about camp life, dangers, and the politics of colonial Africa
- Reflections on science, ethics, and the world the author navigates

Ideal for readers of classic adventure narratives, true-life hunting memoirs, and stories of the African bush.
