"Highlighted by the author's detailed illustrations, this work represents

Millais' journey towards the Limpopo River with excursions to hunt kudu,

reedbock, waterbuck, sable and roan. Near the Nuanetsi River, he bagged

buffalo and zebra. After leaving the Limpopo, he collected trophy kudu, as

well as lion and leopard. A most readable and visually exciting book of

African travel and big game hunting."
