Written by big game hunter and naturalist Charles Thurley Stoneham. A fascinating, early twentieth-century work on big game hunting and travels through Africa. Including chapters on Moja, M'Bili, Tatu, and more.

During the First World War he spent time in British East Africa and later settled there before moving to Kenya and South Africa. This book is described as "a record of the adventures and impression of a nomad in constant touch with nature and all its changing aspects, in a country interesting and romantic beyond most. The author is one of the very few examples of the professional hunter capable of describing his experiences with facility and understanding of the practiced novelist."
