"An excellent work of exploration and sport, this scarce set
represents African adventure at its finest. Departing from
Zanzibar the expedition hunted buffalo, rhinoceros, and a
variety of plains animals in the neighborhood of Mount Kilimanjaro.
There was also considerable elephant hunting near Mount Nyiro,
with additional elephant hunting near Lake Stephanie."
