"Boger, a barrister and teacher, recounts his travels abroad
to Southern Asia and China, which whetted his appetite for big
game hunting. In 1907, he journeyed to the Rovuma River on
the border of Tanganyika, then went via the Zambesi River to
Northeastern Rhodesia on an extended hunt. He bagged waterbuck,
roan, and sable, but was unlucky with lion. Nearing the Luangwa
River, he collected elephant and rhinoceros. In 1909, he returned
to Africa, this time hunting in Uganda for Buffalo and elephant."
