"Chapman recounts his journey to Khartoum, then up
the White Nile into Uganda. He hunted gazelle in the
arid regions of the Sudan, then stalked tiang, hartebeest
and roan near the Sobat River. As he continued up the
White Nile, he bagged waterbuck, cob and lechwe.
There are exciting encounters with buffalo, hippo and
elephant, the latter near the Zeraf River. Additional hunting
for rhinoceros and eland took place near the Blue Nile and
Dinder Rivers." [Czech; An Annotated Bibliography of
Big Game Hunting Books 1785-1999, p. 35].
