After one day's ride on the railway it would be hard to conceive of game being more plentiful than it was while we were there.

Mr.Roosevelt carried nearly three hundred men with him, collected a great quantity of game, and necessarily spent a great deal of money.

It is said that the expenses of his expedition approached ten thousand dollars a month, but the chances are that this figure is much more than the actual figure.
At the time of our arrival there was a shortage in the porter supply, and we were obliged to take out men from a number of different tribes.
Swahili porters are considered the best, but there are not enough to go round, so we had to take Swahilis, Bagandas, Kikuyus, Kavirondos, Lumbwas, Minyamwezis, and a lot more of assorted races.

Each porter carries sixty pounds on his head, and when the whole outfit is on the trail it looks like a procession of much importance.
The Norfolk Hotel is the chief rendezvous of Nairobi.

In the course of the afternoon nearly all the white men on hunting bent show up at the hotel and patronize the bar.
