THE BIG GAME OF AFRICA 



There are different ways of reaching British East 

 Africa. The quickest route is via Marseilles or Naples 

 by either the French or the German line, and from there 

 via Port Said, the Suez Canal, and the Red Sea to Mom- 

 basa or Kilindini. Of these two direct lines the German 

 East African line is by far the better of the two, having 

 much larger and better fitted steamers for the tropics. 

 The trip from Naples to Mombasa or Kilindini occupies 

 from fifteen to sixteen days and costs about four hundred 

 dollars first class from Naples and return, so that the cost 

 of the whole trip from New York to Kilindini and return, 

 via Naples, would be approximately six hundred to eight 

 hundred dollars, according to the size and location of the 

 stateroom. At Naples there are always good and direct 

 connections with New York by large and excellent steam- 

 ers of the North German Lloyd, the Hamburg-American 

 and the White Star Line.
