LET US GO AFIELD 



safari and not attract a great deal of attention 

 among our very best people. 



British East Africa for some years has been very 

 much in the public eye as a great-game country. 

 They have taken good care of that country, have 

 established high game licenses and more than one 

 big-game preserve; yet, none the less, returning 

 sportsmen say that game is harder to get there now 

 than it was a while ago and that good specimens are 

 rare. In short, British East Africa, far away as it 

 seems, is relatively already on the point of being 

 pretty well shot out rather an extraordinary thing 

 to believe and yet very true. The European war has 

 taken away a great deal of the sporting travel which 

 has been going to the country accessible via Nairobi, 

 so that within the next two years we may look to a 

 great increase of game in those fairly well-known 

 fields. 



German East Africa is a better game field than 

 British East Africa, but is much less known and 

 more difficult of access. In general it is a certain 

 proposition that if you are a good shot and have 

 enough money, you can go easily to one or the other 

 of the East African districts and get yourself lion, 

 buffalo, elephant and rhino, as well as countless 

 specimens of the beautiful African antelope. That 

 is not so good a hunting country as Lewis and Clark
