In this first-hand account from explorer Frederick Selous, first
published in 1893, readers follow the true story of a trailblazing
adventurer in an unknown land. Selous explored the area around the
Limpopo River in what is now northern South Africa and Zimbabwe.
From fending off lions and hyenas to hunting the most dangerous
game Africa, Selous' safari was mythic-the very foundation of the
Western world's romance with the Dark Continent. Anyone who has
ever dreamed of visiting Africa will be enchanted by the real-life
adventures of the man who inspired the fictional Allan Quatermain.
British hunter and explorer FREDERICK COURTENEY SELOUS (1851-1917)
was a renowned traveler and conservationist, spending much of his
time charting the continent of Africa. He sent many animal trophies
back to England to be displayed in museums and helped American
president Teddy Roosevelt on a similar mission to supply the
Smithsonian. Selous wrote a number of books about his adventures,
including A Hunter's Wanderings in Africa (1881) and Sunshine &
Storm in Rhodesia (1896). A hunting reserve in Tanzania now bears
his name.
