According to Dr. Kenneth Czech in An Annotated Bibliography of African Big Game Hunting Books, 1785–1999 (pages 251–252), this work chronicles Selous's adventures in the 1880s and 1890s, featuring encounters with lions, leopards, and rhinoceros near the Zambezi and surrounding rivers, along with elephant hunts in Mashonaland and Matabeleland.

A very good copy showing minor handling wear on the boards and slight spotting on the page edges. The interior is crisp and unblemished, featuring a subtle gift inscription on the second page."
