Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a firsthand account of a four-month expedition into the wilds of British East Africa, a land renowned for its abundance of wildlife. The author, a passionate photographer, sought to capture the beauty and grandeur of these animals in their natural habitat, forgoing the traditional hunting rifle for the camera lens. The book provides vivid descriptions of the diverse landscape, from the bustling port city of Mombasa to the parched plains teeming with game. The author's experience, recounted with vivid detail, is more than just a travelogue. It offers a glimpse into a world rapidly disappearing under the pressure of colonialism and the rise of commercial hunting. The author's decision to eschew the killing of animals for the art of capturing them on film reveals a growing shift in the perception of nature in the early 20th century. The book's account of encounters with rhinoceros, giraffe, and countless other animals, provides a unique window into the natural world as it existed before widespread conservation efforts took hold. The author's deep respect for wildlife, and his commitment to capturing their lives with his camera, makes this book a powerful reminder of the importance of preserving our natural heritage for future generations.
