Synopsis

From the field to the photograph: a vivid account of African big game hunting and wild life study.

This volume follows early 20th‑century explorer Schillings as he documents hunts, close encounters, and the challenges of tracking elephants, lions, and other creatures in East Africa. It blends action with observations on animal behavior, landscape, and the practicalities of field life, all told in a first‑hand, traveler’s voice.

• Experience dramatic night watches, perilous riverbeds, and rapid shifts from triumph to fatigue.
• Read about tracking, shooting, and the quick decisions that shaped each hunt.
• Discover glimpses of wildlife habits and the realities of wild life study during explorations.
• Get a sense of the era’s attitudes toward exploration, conservation, and the lure of the African veld.

Ideal for readers of adventure biographies and historical wildlife chronicles who want a front‑row view of hunting exploits alongside early wildlife observation.
