'Of all the great game reserves of Africa, Wankie, in Rhodesia, has probably the greatest variety as well as one of the densest populations of wild animals. From the year of its proclamation (1928) until his retirement in 1961, Wankie was fortunate in having as its warden, Ted Davison. For 33 years he and Wankie were synonymous and, patrolling the bounds, fighting poachers and killer elephants, creating watering points, building roads, studying the multitude of game animals under his care, he grew to know Wankie more intimately than any other human being.
This book is Ted Davison's story of his years in Wankie. It is a unique story, rich in knowledge, full of strange incidents, odd characters, and all the drama of the great wilderness of Africa.' - editor's note
