"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].
