The Wanderings of an Elephant Hunter
In The Wanderings of an Elephant Hunter, legendary hunter W.D.M. Bell takes readers on a thrilling journey through the African wilderness. With vivid descriptions and captivating anecdotes, Bell shares his encounters with majestic elephants, dangerous predators, and the challenges of survival in the untamed landscape. This compelling narrative offers a glimpse into a bygone era of exploration and the complex relationship between humans and the natural world.
Karamojo Safari
Karamojo Safari, first published in 1949, is a classic story of elephant hunting, safaris, native life, and the wilds of Uganda and Kenya in the late 1800s, at a time when the region (then known as "Karamojo") was completely unknown to the outside world. Walter Bell (1880-1954), a Scottish adventurer, traveled the area for 14 months, during which time he hunted and killed 180 elephants, and recovered a staggering total of more than 9 tons of ivory. Famous for being one of the most successful ivory hunters of his time, Bell was an advocate of the importance of shooting accuracy and shot placement with smaller caliber rifles versus the use of heavy large-bore rifles for big African game. He improved his shooting skills by careful dissection and study of the anatomy of the skulls of the elephants he shot, and perfected the clean shooting of elephants from the difficult position of being diagonally behind the target; this shot became known as the "Bell Shot".

Now, for the first time, it will be possible for Bell aficionados to place the hunting stories from the first three books listed above into the framework of Bell's life.
Incidents from an Elephant Hunter's Diary
Once again the legendary Karamojo Bell marches through the wilds of Africa-traversing a land virtually untouched by modern civilization in search of adventure and ivory. The Africa Bell knew is now long gone and seemingly very far away, but, in reality, his travels took place only about a century ago. Join us as Bell takes us to a land with vast herds of wildlife living in rough equilibrium with the native human populations. Through his earlier books Bell gained the reputation for being an excellent marksman who shot small-caliber guns at giant elephants with deadly precision. Bell was best known for his exploits in Karamoja, in what is now largely Uganda, and in these newly unearthed short ...
