Explore the wilds of East Africa through the eyes of a seasoned hunter and naturalist, as he tracks lions, antelopes, and mountain-dedicated wildlife across the Nyika and Kilimanjaro region.

This volume blends adventurous narrative with detailed natural history. It follows long treks, demanding climbs, and careful observation of creatures from rock-badgers to klipspringers, set against vast, sunlit deserts, rugged mountain slopes, and shifting camps. The author shares firsthand experiences, challenges, and moments of quiet awe in a landscape where wilderness meets human endurance.

A vivid account of stalking and hunting in challenging terrain, including close-quarters lion pursuits and long, arduous ascents.
In-depth field notes on rock-badgers, klipspringers, mountain-reedbucks, and high-lying birdlife, with practical hunting and observation insights.
Descriptions of life on the road: camps, caravan, native guides, and the rhythm of a long expedition across East Africa.
Observations on mountain forests, high plateaus, and the changing light over vast plains that shape both wildlife behavior and the hunter’s approach.

Ideal for readers drawn to classic African exploration, wildlife study, and memoirs of difficult explorations in remote landscapes.
