In Wildest Africa, Vol. 2
Carl Georg Schillings and Frederic Whyte
Dwarf antelope, spurred geese, and cormorants share these pages with the elephants Schillings tracked alongside Wandorobo hunters. The second volume pushes into primeval forest, watches a Masai throw his spear, and keeps the naturalist's camera trained on animals rarely photographed alive. Adventure and observation braided together. Follow the trail deeper into the bush.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
