Czech (Dr. Kenneth) An Annotated Bibliography of African Big Game Hunting Books 1785 – 1999, Pages 192/193, 'The first third of this book relates to the author's travels on the Uganda Railway and an excursion into German East Africa. With a safari consisting of 144 members, the Meikles proceeded to hunt in British East Africa near the Guaso Nyiro. They bagged hartebeest, oryx, rhino lion, gerenuk and waterbuck. After a bout with dysentery, the party returned to the field where Mrs Meikle relates a variety of camp experiences with a bit of buffalo hunting mixed in. While there are several good descriptions of hunting big game, the authors seem intent on stressing the 'holiday' aspect of their African journey.'
