" From beginning to end it is a series of almost frantically exciting adventures, 

 and the author may well be proud of his trophies. They have been acquired under 

 conditions which, in many cases, the boldest hunter might well be excused for 

 declining to face, and we do not know whether to admire more their possessor's 

 courage and resource or his skill in photography. . . . Mr. Dugmore is something 

 more than an exceptionally daring sportsman and photographer. He is an acute 

 observer of the ways of both men and animals, and if anything, by evil chance, 

 escapes his camera, it is sure to be recorded by his pen." Globe. 



" This is one of the most fascinating and original books that has ever come 

 into our hands, and though the text is a plain tale modestly told, it is a record of 

 skill and daring which deserves the highest tribute. The photographs are a new 

 revelation of the animal world." Westminster Gazette. 



" The most important book that has yet been published to show photographs 

 of dangerous wild animals." Country Life. 



" Mr. Dugmore took more than three hundred photographs, many of them with 

 a telephoto lens or by flashlights. Nearly half of them are reproduced in this 

 book ; and they are certainly the best of their kind yet published. Of its kind 

 the book has no rival." The Field. 



" A pleasant, natural narrative, which is nowhere strained or exaggerated. 

 His very remarkable series of photographs will fascinate big game hunters as no 

 such volume has done before ; and beyond that, it will afford the keenest delight 

 to any one, old or young, who loves animals and animal-study. Not the least 

 memorable of the associations connected with it is the knowledge that the rifle was 

 used only now and then in self-defence and occasionally to procure meat for food, 

 . . . and this may recommend Mr. Dugmore's book to those who avoid the usual 

 big game hunters' records of destruction." Times Literary Supplement. 



" The finest exposition of the life of the African wilderness that has yet been 

 presented to the public. Nothing like these magnificent pictures has ever yet 

 been published ; and the lover of sport and nature, who has not the leisure or the 

 wherewithal to betake himself to the heart of the great game country, has now 

 presented to him in this book a faithful and magnificent gallery of wild beast ) 

 scenery, and natives, from which he can glean exactly what the heart of Africa is 

 like." Sporting and Dramatic News.
