Cumming went to the South African interior for hunting and discovered
vast herds of plains game as well as large, dangerous game. He hunted
many elephants, as well as lion, rhino, buffalo and even more elephants.
This is a classic of African hunting & exploration in the days when the big
game herds were seemingly endless.
