Elgon, along the Athi and Tana Rivers and the Guaso Nyiro. His literary approach is through an examination of the various big game species such as lion, elephant, buffalo, rhinoceros, the antelopes, etc., then relating his sporting experiences. This book includes a 51 page guide to the Ki-Swahili language" (Czech). Czech, Africa, p. 285.
