Baldwin, who worked for a while as a clerk in Liverpool, came to southern Africa where he spent his time travelling, hunting, and trading in ivory.Arriving in Durban in December 1851 he joined a hunting expedition into Zululand early in 1852, during which seven members died of fever and Baldwin's health was permanently affected.

He left Zululand in 1857 for the Transvaal and joined a hunting party to Matabeleland (in present Zimbabwe). From there he went to Bloemfontein, and in March 1858 started out on a hunting trip into present Botswana, reaching the vicinity of Lake Ngami in July. After returning to Natal to refit he again travelled to Lake Ngami in 1859, via a route north of the Makgadigadi Pans.With a thirty-page catalogue of publisher's advertisements to the rear.
