330 APPENDIX 



Passenger trains leave Mombasa at 1 1 a.m. on Mondays, 

 Wednesdays, and Fridays, and are timed to arrive at 

 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 213! 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

 sliikari. 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
