| Summary | "Sieben Jahre in Süd-Afrika. Zweiter Band" by Emil Holub is a travel memoir written in the late 19th century. This work documents the author's extensive explorations, experiences, and hunting expeditions in Southern Africa, focusing on his travels from the diamond fields to the Zambezi River. Holub relates his adventures, interactions with indigenous cultures, and natural observations, giving readers insight into the landscape and wildlife of the region during that period. The opening of the memoir introduces Holub as he embarks on his significant third journey into the interior of Southern Africa. After spending nearly three years in the region, he reflects on his previous experiences and preparations for this expedition, noting the challenges posed by both the environment and local inhabitants. Setting out from Dutoitspan, he recounts early encounters, such as hunting for wild geese at Moffat's Lake and his observations of the rich wildlife surrounding him, all while foreshadowing the excitement and potential dangers he expects to face on his travels. Throughout these experiences, Holub expresses a blend of anticipation and anxiety, highlighting the unpredictability inherent in his explorative pursuits.
