Big Game Shooting 



They are as a rule very tame, and can be 

 approached with ease in a country where they 

 have not been much shot over. They are very 

 good eating. 



It is very easy to mistake this animal for a 

 female Grant, at a certain distance, of course, and 

 without glasses, or vice versa, as each has the 

 black stripes on the flanks. 



I have found them on the south and east slopes 

 of Kilimanjaro as far as Arusia in German terri- 

 tory, and across in small numbers to the Athi 

 Plains, where they swarm. They are equally 

 plentiful round lakes Naivasha and Nakuru, and 

 extend northwards in considerable quantities up 

 the Rift Valley to Lake Solai ; thence over 

 Laikipia, and all down the Guaso Narok to its 

 junction with the Guaso Nyiro some way north. 



A good average head would be 13^ inches.
