330 APPENDIX 
Nairobi at 11.15 next morning and at Kisumu (the railway 
terminus on Lake Victoria Nyanza) at 9 o’clock on the 
morning following. The First-Class return fares from 
Mombasa to Nairobi, Kisumu and Entebbe are 92, 164}, 
and 2134 rupees respectively. 
It is unnecessary to specify district by district where 
particular species of game are to be found, for the sports- 
man can easily learn this for himself and get the latest 
news of game movements on his arrival at Mombasa. As 
a matter of fact, the whole country abounds in game, and 
there cannot be lack of sport and trophies for the keen 
shikart. The heads and skins should be very carefully 
sun-dried and packed in tin-lined cases with plenty of 
moth-killer for shipment home. For mounting his trophies 
the sportsman cannot do better, I think, than go to Rowland 
Ward of Piccadilly. I have had mine set up by this 
firm for years past, and have always found their work 
excellent. 
I consider that £400 should cover the entire cost of a 
three months’ shooting trip to East Africa, including 
passage both ways. The frugal sportsman will doubtless 
do it on less, while the extravagant man will probably 
spend very much more. 
Should time be available, a trip to the Victoria Nyanza 
should certainly be made. The voyage round the Lake in 
one of the comfortable railway steamers takes about eight 
days, but the crossing to Entebbe, the official capital of 
Uganda, can be done in seventeen hours, though it usually 
takes twenty-seven, as at night the boats anchor for 
shelter under the lee of an island. The steamer remains 
long enough in Entebbe harbour to enable the energetic 
traveller to pay a flying visit in a rickshaw to Kampala, the 
native capital, some twenty-one miles off. I spent a most 
interesting day last year in this way, and had a chat with 
the boy King of Uganda, Daudi Chwa, at Mengo. He was
