Czech (K.) An Annotated Bibliography of African Big Game Hunting Books 1785-199, page 278: Originally published in Hungary in 1934, this translation details a Hungarian nobleman's pursuit of elephant in the Kitui Forest and along the Tiva River in Kenya. He also hunted bongo near Mt. Kenya, kudu along the northern reaches of Lake Rudolph, leopard on the northern Guaso Nyiro and lion on the Serengeti Plain. He wrote other African hunting books which still await translation.
