A Hunter’s Wanderings in Africa, an acknowledged classic on wildlife and hunting on both sides of the Zambezi, spans nine fascinating years (1871-1880) in the life of Selous, a legendary great of the decade prior to the formal occupation which became known as Rhodisia.

Written during an era when ivory was the principal commodity of trade with the interior of Africa, the work presents one of the best descriptions of the life of an African big game hunter yet is one of the richest records of the fauna of that period.
