THE TIMES. 
‘Mr. Chapman has deserved well of the public. If he has not produced a 
work of genius, a ‘‘ Jungle-book of Equatorial Africa,’’ he has provided a most 
readable and instructive narrative, interesting both to the untravelled and to those 
who know of old the meaning and the full joys of being ‘‘ On Safari.’’’ 
THE GLOBE, 
‘It is difficult to convey an idea of its peculiar fascination. There is a 
sense of wealth and spaciousness about the book that comes like a breath from 
the forest to us poor dwellers in London town. His elephants move in tribes; 
his rhinoceroses rise in covies ; hippopotami are as common in his lakes as gold- 
fish at Hampton Court ; and his very pigs are monsters, inconceivable as possible 
pork. Over the tale of his adventures lies an atmosphere of boundless freedom, 
of a world in which Man is still but a competitor—and not always a very success- 
ful one—with the Beasts, and has not yet enslaved either himself or them.’ 
THE STANDARD. 
“Interesting as the text is, the illustrations are a chief feature. They are 
exceptionally numerous and superlatively good. . . . The book is one that big- 
game shots and students of natural history should buy and that everybody 
should read.’ 
THE SPECTATOR. 
‘Those who know Mr. Abel Chapman’s books on Spain and Norway will 
welcome with pleasure this account of two expeditions up the Uganda line. The 
average sportsman is not, like Mr. Chapman, a naturalist and an artist, and so is 
unable to produce a book a tenth part as interesting as this. Though his style is 
without pretension, he is such a keen observer of animal life and so competent an 
ornithologist that every detail which he records is worth recording.’
