Only a few hardy indigenous people lived in the Sabi Valley. White men could not hope to survive or prosper the circumstances. Lucas Bridges set out for Rhodesia to prove the experts wrong. Guided by veteran hunter Ally Hamman, he walked down into the sweltering summer heat of the Sabi Valley to mark out the first rough boundaries of Devuli Ranch.
