'The narrative describes two expeditions, one in which the author was accompanied by Francis Galton in the Ovampo country, and the other when he travelled by himself to Lake Ngami. The courage and endurance of the explorers were remarkable... few, if any, books give so full and complete an account of Namaqualand, Damaraland, and the Ovampo country and the description of the fauna of these countries is absolutely unequalled' (Mendelssohn).

'A cornerstone book of African hunting in the middle of the nineteenth century. The London edition is much more difficult to locate than the American edition' (Czech).f
