| Summary | "In Wildest Africa, Vol. 1" by C. G. Schillings is an illustrated exploration and observation of wildlife and landscapes in Africa, written in the early 20th century. The book combines narrative and photographic studies to document the author's experiences and impressions of Africa's natural beauty and diverse wildlife, highlighting an urgent call to preserve these environments and their inhabitants. The opening of the work begins with the author's reflections on his recovery from fever while accompanying a caravan of native bearers towards Lake Nakuro. It sets a vivid scene, recalling previous travels and contrasting the current landscape with the rich, untamed past of the Masai region. As Schillings arrives at the lake, he is entranced by the flourishing wildlife and striking natural beauty surrounding him, even as he reminisces about the drastic changes brought by European colonization and civilizational influence. By introducing specific animals and detailing the consequences of human activities, the author establishes a nostalgic yet urgent tone that beckons readers to appreciate and protect the wildness of Africa before it fades into memory.
