From Cape Town to the diamond fields and on toward Wonderfontein, Emil Holub records seven years of travel across southern Africa. This first volume runs from the voyage out through the rush at the diggings and into the interior. Part naturalist, part explorer, he brings back landscapes, peoples, and wildlife. A rich nineteenth-century African journey.

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.
