I was re-reading The Maneating Leopard of Rudraprayag and noticed that Corbett mentions, toward the end of the story when he was about to give up on the leopard and return home, that he was due in Africa soon. This in 1926. Did he go to Africa around that time and, if so, is there any account of what he did there?

Also, it had somehow escaped me that Corbett was 50 years old in 1926 when he was walking 18 miles a day over very rough and mountainous terrain, sitting up for many nights on end in trees, etc. I had always assumed, without ever thinking about it, that he was a man of 30 or 35 - for whom these feats would have been extraordinary enough!
