Big Game Shooting on the Equator
Excerpt from Big Game Shooting on the Equator
Sport in East Africa can hardly be said to be within the reach Of a poor man unless he is a resident, in which case opportunities will occur without much expense but the traveller must face a certain outlay in connection with the equipment Of his caravan, and is warned not to be too Spartan or to run risks Of exposure, for, excellent as the climate is, the dangers of both sunstroke and chill are very real and very terrible to the imprudent. Financially East African travelling has this advantage, that you know the expense beforehand. The cost of a caravan can be caleu lated, and once it is paid for, it is impossible to spend money when on the march.
