With a career spanning nearly four decades, Daly hunted big game in various parts of Africa. Included are elephant hunts in Kenya and the Congo in the area of Tanaland and the Lower Wakamba, lion in Matabeleland, as well as safaris to French Equatorial Africa, the Sudan and Cameroons for all manner of game including gorilla. Daly maintains that of elephant, buffalo and rhinoceros, all are equally dangerous depending on what and where they are met. He includes interesting chapters on why game is disappearing, and on rifle selection and shooting. Dr Kenneth ).
