In Africa

CHAPTER VIII
5/20

Mr.Akeley] Hunters who come to East Africa usually are sent to certain districts where game is known to be abundant.

These districts are well defined and oftentimes there may be a number of _safaris_ in them at the same time, but so large are the districts that one group of hunters very rarely encroaches upon the others.
Some parties are sent to Mount Kilima-Njaro, in the vicinity of which there is good hunting.

Others are sent out from points along the railroad for certain classes of game that may be found only in those spots.

Simba, on the railroad, is a favorite place for those who are after the yellow-maned or "plains" lion.

Muhorini, also on the railroad, is a favorite place for those who want the roan antelope; Naivasha is a good place for hippo, and south of Kijabe, in what is called the Sotik, is a district where nearly all sorts of game abound.
