"This is a true story of a journey into Karamojo some fifty years ago, when it was an unknown part of Africa ... indeed at the time dealt with in this book the author was the first white man seen by the natives". 'Karamojo' Bell was rated as one of the greatest elephant hunters of all time. The author writes of days at the beginning of the 20thC century when there was little or no restriction on the pursuit of big game and when an elephant tusk fetched a tidy sum, when Africa was still largely free from western civilisation.
