Czech (Dr. Kenneth) An Annotated Bibliography of African Big Game Hunting Books 1785 – 1999, page 24 -25: A civil servant in India, Bennet spent a year-long furlough hunting in British East Africa. He travelled along the Tana River, bagging buffalo, eland and rhino. Continuing on to the area around Mt. Kenia he failed in an attempt after elephant, but did succeed in hunting lion and other game, including gazelle and oryx, near the Guaso Nyiro. He concluded his tour with a safari to lake Victoria where he hunted topi, roan and hippo. A species by species analysis of wild game in the area is also provided.
