Francis Galton's brilliant travel account of his time spent exploring the Tropics of South Africa. At the time of this expedition South West Africa was still little explored, with his vivid account filling in the gaps of knowledge relating to the areas between the Cape Colony and the western Portuguese settlements, and towards Lake Ngami. Galton travelled in a party of nearly forty men. Galton was a noted polymath, a proponent on social Darwinism (Galton and Darwin were cousins).
