Hunting Trips in Northern Rhodesia: With Accounts of Sport and Travel in Nyasaland, and Portuguese East Africa, and Also Notes, on the Game Animals and Their Distribution (Classic Reprint)
In the following pages I give an account of some of my experiences with the big game of Northern Rhodesia (or South Central A frica). Although the book is mainly about shooting in that country, I have also included a few chapters on sport and travel in Nyasaland and Portuguese East A frica. Sporting literature on this part of Africa is not so common as that on countries such as Southern A frica, British East A frica, Uganda, Somaliland, and the Nile regions. Perhaps to many people this book may seem superfluous, as so much has already been written on African shooting; but big-game hunters, in my opinion, are always ready to read about sport in countries so little known as this part of A frica, and where they have not been themselves.

I have no hairbreadth escapes to relate, although I have had a few exciting experiences, which are the interesting part of big-game shooting. The game in this country is increasing rapidly, due to stringent game regulations and preservation, and there is here a splendid field for the hunternaturalist. The free life in the bush is very fascinating to the lover of Nature in all her wild forms, and a man always longs to return to such a country, teeming with game, again and again. If these pages are of interest, or can give the slightest information to any sportsman, I shall be amply recompensed for the trouble of writing them. Their shortcomings are many; but I have written nothing that is not fac (Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)
