He had been visiting Lord Delamere, and after a few hours in the forest had succeeded in doing what only two white men had done before. The Englishman who had this good luck was George Grey, a brother of Sir Edward Grey, one of the present cabinet ministers of England. The eland is the largest of all antelopes, and we ran across a few on the Tana River and a few on the Guas Ngishu Plateau.
It is wakeful sport hunting these four kinds of game and in my experience elephant hunting is the "most wakefullest" of them all. In my several months of African hunting I had four different encounters with elephants. The first two were on Mount Kenia and the last two were on the Guas Ngishu Plateau, near where it merges into the lower slopes of Mount Elgon.
Very little of the hunting is done in jungles in fact there are few jungles except on the slopes of the mountains and along the course of streams. Our safari went into the Athi Plains, along the Athi River down the Tana River, up on Mount Kenia and later on the Guas Ngishu Plateau, along the Nzoia River, and up Mount Elgon.
In such times we would shoot game for them, either kongoni or zebra, both of which are considered great delicacies by the black man. However, this is not telling about my memorable elephant experiences in the Guas Ngishu Plateau. We got back to the Nzoia River on December third. On the fifteenth, after many more unsuccessful attempts to get in touch with a herd, Mr.
We ran across this beautiful antelope only on the Guas Ngishu Plateau, although it is found in one or two other districts in East Africa. In all our weeks of rambling on the high plains near Mount Elgon I think I saw several hundred head of topi, always shy and quick to take alarm.
For our second expedition we selected the Guas Ngishu Plateau, the Nzoia River, and Mount Elgon. It is a long trip which involves elaborate preparation and some difficulty in keeping up supplies for the camp and the porters.
