Synopsis

Scarce licenses, strict rules, and the hunt for understanding how big game is managed in Africa.

This edition compiles observations, laws, and practical notes on elephant protection and game management from early colonial Africa, offering both adventure and policy context. The book blends field experience with discussions of regulations that shaped hunting, conservation, and wildlife numbers.

• Dive into the practical realities of obtaining game licenses and the costs for Europeans and natives.
• See how authorities approached elephant protection, hunting rights, and the use of “fundi” as licensed hunters.
• Understand the tension between sport, preservation, and local conditions across different districts.
• Explore the evolving attitudes toward big game management and the impact of regulations on field sport and conservation.

Ideal for readers of travel writing and early conservation efforts, and for anyone curious about how colonial-era policies intersected with wildlife and sport.
