A rare and rollicking memoir of grit, dust, and lion-infested roads. In this vivid 1950s travelogue, Cyril Kantor recounts his journey through the heart of the Kalahari Desertknown to locals as The Big Thirstalongside a cattle speculator with more bravado than sense. From Ghanziland to the South African border, they traverse a parched and perilous landscape where thirst, heat, and the occasional lion are constant companions.
Complete with 18 photographic plates, this first edition captures a vanishing world of frontier resilience and dry wit. Perfect for collectors of Africana, vintage travel writing, or anyone drawn to the mythic wilds of southern Africa.
