'Cronje Wilmot's book is essentially a genuine narrative of the wild, unpredictable part of Africa, which those who have been fortunate enough to know it - have come to love so well.

Dealing in the main with Ngamiland and Bechuanaland, this is no superficial record of a few hastily conducted trips. It is the story of a man who has spent a lifetime in these areas, and he takes us on crocodile shooting in the mysterious Okavango swamps, relates numerous adventures with buffalo, lions and leopards and other less well-known game of the swamplands, such as Lechwe and Sitatunga.

His account of his mauling by a lion is one of the most vivid chapters in the book, whilst he has much to say about the snakes of his part of the world.

All hunters, naturalists, botanists and anglers, as well as all those who enjoy the acrid smell of the camp fire and love the African veld, will enjoy this book.' - editor's note
