THE HAUNTS OF 
AFRICAN GAME 
(CONTINUED FROM PAGE 293) 
often to fire at longer ranges than 
would be considered sporting elsewhere. 
By infinite patience, waiting at water- 
holes, or lying motionless in the shadow 
of isolated little bushes, a closer ac- 
quaintance may be had with the game. 
The Desert. 
A DESERT may be thinly bushed, 
or may contain dense patches of 
thorn, but all deserts agree in one 
point — the scarcity of water and the 
consequent lack of luxuriant vegetation. 
Desert-dwelling game is adapted to live 
in such surroundings; it is able to do 
with but little water and sustain life on 
the dry grasses and thorn trees which 
such regions produce. 
Although game is scarce, it is easy to 
find, what little there is, as it must re- 
turn frequently to one of a very lim- 
ited series of waterholes, and it is sim- 
ple to follow tracks in the dry, sandy 
soil. Typical desert game are the 
oryx and the gazelle, also giraffe, lion, 
dik dik, and, to a lesser extent, lesser 
kudu and rhinoceros. 
The hunter in such localities should 
visit unfrequented waterholes, camping 
at some distance from them sc as not to 
disturb the game. At dawn the water 
should be visited; game may be found 
still close by, or their night’s tracks may 
be followed up. If nothing is found, 
likely grazing grounds in the vicinity 
should be visited and searched for 
tracks fresh enough to be worth follow- 
ing up. 
In the evening game may be met with 
coming in to water. If lions visit the 
hole by night their tracks may be fol- 
lowed, or the hunter may sit up for 
them — the former being an uncertain 
method, as desert lions often travel 
enormous distances between drinking 
and lying up. 
There are some deserts, such as parts 
of the Nubian and Sahara deserts, 
which consist of loose sand and do not 
contain vegetation sufficient to support 
any animal. The highland desert of 
Somaliland, called the Haud, and especi- 
ally its western part called the Galbed, 
is a good hunting ground. Here are 
found the oryx beisa, various gazelle, 
including Soemering’s, plateau and 
Waller’s gazelle; the bibtag and several 
kinds of dik dik. Lions are fairly nu- 
merous, whilst kudu, lesser kudu and 
leopard occur in the hills. 
In Darfur, Kordofan and the deserts 
of the northern part of the Sudan are 
found the Beatrix oryx, the addax, the 
ariel gazelle, and, further south, giraffe 
are plentiful, as well as the rufifrons 
and rather local Rothschild’s gazelle. In 
the desert regions round Lake Rudolf 
the oryx beisa, topi, Grevy’s zebra, Neu- 
mann’s hartebeest, rhinoceros and a va- 
riety of Grant’s gazelie are met with. 
In East Africa is the Taru desert, the 
habitat of the fringe-eared oryx, lesser 
kudu and Peter’s gazelle, and in the
