Constantine John Philip Ionides (1901 - 1969) was a former British Army officer turned ivory hunter and herpetologist. He was briefly a white hunter working out of Arusha in the 1930s with Ken McDougall, then joined the game department in Tanganyika in 1933 and was sent to Kilwa, a small coastal port south of Dar es Salaam. He continued his avid hunting, collecting rare species from as far away as Sudan and Abyssinia. A Hunter's Story by C J P Ionides (1965) is the autobiography of a great hunter, conservationist and a celebrated naturalist. He was a Game Warden in Tanganyika and was known as the 'Father of the Selous' by none other than Brian Nicholson, as he designed the Selous Game Reserve as a highly controlled hunting reserve.
