Ernst A. Zwilling, one of the last white large game hunters of Africa, supported up to his death, 1990, the preservation of the animal world and landscape of the black continent. This book is the literary legacy of perhaps,the last white large game hunter of Africa, as well as being a talented writer and editor. The authors visit to the fabulous Sultan of Rei Bouba. Zwilling tells his adventures, simply and modestly, it is easy to see why he is revered as one of the most distinguished sportsmen his country has ever produced. The man who forbears to attack an elephant when it is asleep, and who prefers to face death from two fear-crazed lionesses with their young rather than shoot the motherbeast, has written a remarkable and memorable book that will earn the admiration of all who thrill to the dangers and triumphs of hunting big game.

Experiences in rural South Africa. ‘To own a place” in Britain you need to be wealthy. But in South Africa a place is possible for almost anyone. They speak there of “Coetzee’s place” or “Nel’s place” or “Smith’s place”; only they pronounce it “plek” and they mean a farm or a plantation. Looking forward to the coming of peace the South African Government has already expressed itself eager to welcome settlers and to help them with grants of land loans and advice. Naturally they think first of their own returning service men but they will also welcome others of the Empire. There is space in the vastness of South Africa for so many.'”

The nineteenth-century big game hunters often published accounts of their adventures in pursuit if dangerous game. What they wrote captured not only the excitement of hunting, but also exploration and travel in some of the wildest regions of the world. Their motives were as diverse as the hunters themselves: sometimes a desire for ivory or trophies; sometimes the need to protect the local population from the ravages of a man-eating tiger; perhaps a commission to provide specimens for a museum in Europe or America; often simply a love of adventure. This collection contains writing by some of the best-known hunters and explorers, among them: Frederick Counrteney Selous, an archetypal English hero of Huguenot descent; R. G. Gordon Cummings, who hunted in South Africa in kilt and deerstalker and shot a huge quantity of game; the two great elephant hunters, Neumann and Sutherland; and perhaps the most famous explorer and hunter of them all, Sir Samuel Baker. A section in which some of the hunters write about the rifles and equipment they used will be of particular interest to today’s sportsmen and collectors of antique weapons.
