G. C. Swayne is a non-fiction account of exploration and big game hunting, written in the late 19th century. The narrative chronicles a series of journeys undertaken by Captain Swayne between 1885 and 1893 in the hinterlands of the Somali Coast Protectorate, detailing both the wildlife and the lives of the local nomadic tribes. The text serves as an informative guide for sportsmen and travelers interested in the region's natural history and cultural practices. The opening of the work introduces readers to the unique geography and cultural dynamics of Somáliland.
