ON SAFARI
BIG GAME HUNTING IN BRITISH EAST AFRICA
WITH STUDIES OF BIRD- LIFE

ABEL CHAPMAN

EDWARD ARNOLD, LONDON
1908

First Edition.
A prolific sporting author, Chapman combined fluid writing style with his exciting experiences hunting in British East Africa. He followed the Uganda Railway, with hunting excursions toward Lake Elementeita and also westward to the Enderit River and along Lake Nakuru. On a 1904 hunt, Chapman describes his trek across the Athi Plains. There are plentiful hunting experiences including lion, waterbuck, rhino, elephant, gazelle, eland, kudu, and buffalo. The illustrations are plentiful and come from photographs and the talented pen of Edmund Caldwell. (Czech, Bibliography of African Big Game Hunting Books.)
