"Donovan landed at Cape Town in 1839 to enjoy a big game hunt into

the veldt country near the Limpopo River. Buffalo, eland and sable were

collected, with hippopotamus bagged on the Umtelique River and additional

sport after lion and kudu. The sporting adventure had just come to an end when

the First Matabele war erupted, with the author participating in that action."

(Czech, An Annotated Bibliography of African Big Game Hunting Books, p. 50).
