"Lang embarked on an extended journey, partly by car, from cape Town,

through Rhodesia, Tanganyika and into Kenya. He hunted lions and buffalo

near the Sand River, then travelled by car into Northern Rhodesia to hunt

buffalo along the Kafue River. After being delayed by a storm of locusts, he

continued into Tanganyika, bagging more buffalo and hippopotamus near

Lake Rukwa and the Songe delta where he barely survived a buffalo

stampede that killed one of his native scouts. Later in Kenya, Lang was

badly mauled during another buffalo hunt and forced to curtail his travel",
