About this book

Between 1885 and 1893 Captain H. G. C. Swayne of the Royal Engineers made seventeen separate trips into the interior of Somaliland, some for exploration and others for big game shooting on his periods of leave. He wrote them up in 1895, dedicating the book to his Somali followers.

His stated aim is to portray nomadic life in the north-east of Africa and to give practical information to travellers and sportsmen. Notes on the wild animals of the country accompany the narrative, and many of the illustrations reproduce his own drawings. He and his brother covered some ten thousand miles with camel caravans.
