Dear Sir:

I am considering making a six-day trip out of
Nairobi in June. I will be arriving in Nairobi on the
11th of June and leaving on the 17th of June. I am
very interested in seeing the countryside and the wild-
life, however I am not interested in hunting nor in
watching hunting. I would prefer going with another
person if this can be arranged, but am willing to go
singley. I understand that some of the parks are
closed during the month of June due to the rainy season
and would like to have a definite proposal as to the
trip you could plan at that time. It would be greatly
appreciated if you could answer with all the particulars
by return mail since I must make my arrangements right
away. Please indicate the cost and whether a second
person can accompany me.

# PLANNING YOUR AFRICAN SAFARI

### Hunting Season:

There is no closed season in British East Africa for the hunting of big game. However, due to seasonal rains, the best time is:

* from December to March
* and
* from June to October.

Some sportsmen like to hunt during the wet weather, as stalking of game is easier and better trophies may be obtained, though long delays and discomfort may be encountered due to swollen rivers, mud, etc.

### Length of Safari:

The length of a hunting trip depends on the ambition of the hunter. The minimum accepted by us is 21 days. Given ordinary luck it is possible to collect within such period, 12 different species of game. Our experience has proved that to get average trophies of 3 out of the five African dangerous game, viz., Elephant, Rhino, Buffalo, Lion and Leopard, at least a 30-day safari is necessary.

However if the hunters are more selective in their requirements, and want specimens of rare antelopes or record trophies, they must be prepared to travel longer distances, move camp to different areas, and spend more time in getting the game desired.

### Stay in Nairobi:

It is advisable to spend 2 days in Nairobi before and after your safari, to visit the Game Department, obtain Game Licences, effect last minute purchases, also to wind up your safari, take care of your trophies, etc.

### Clothing:

We recommend long cotton trousers and long sleeved shirts of "Khaki" colour. As personal servants will be in camp to wash and iron, a large quantity of clothing need not be brought. Light shoes with **rubber soles** are essential to allow close stalking of game. Socks or stockings and a jacket and sweater for early morning will complete your safari clothing. We advise you to have your hunting clothes made to measure in Nairobi, where khaki bush-jackets with **cartridge holders** sewn on, trousers, shirts, etc., can be tailored at reasonable costs in 48 hours. Footwear should be brought with you.

**Climate :**

Most people believe that because East Africa is in the tropics the heat is extreme. Only the coastal belt is hot but the Highlands, where most of the hunting is effected, have a mild climate. The hunting areas lie between 2,000 and 6,000 ft. above sea-level and the temperatures vary from 50 to 90° F in the shade. Most of the hunting grounds are healthy and free from disease. The only precaution to be taken is the normal anti-malarial.

**Game Laws :**

All Game Laws are strictly adhered to under the guidance and responsibility of the Professional White Hunters who are familiar with all regulations, National Parks and Game Reserve boundaries, etc.

Game Licences are personal and not transferable to others.

Shooting is prohibited during the hours of darkness and from cars or within 200 yards from a vehicle.

**Trophies :**

There are all facilities in Nairobi for your trophies to be fully mounted by a reputable Taxidermist, or, to be forwarded to London to be mounted there. Price Lists will be sent on demand. Alternatively, your trophies can be dipped locally and shipped for final mounting in your country. We recommend that you visit the Taxidermist of your choice before your safari in order to decide how you want your trophies prepared.

**Passport and Health Requirements :**

You must obtain an Entry Visa into Kenya, Tanganyika and Uganda from the nearest British Consul or representative in your country.

You must also produce at the time of your arrival an International Certificate of vaccination against Smallpox and inoculation against Yellow Fever.

**Customs Duty :**

No customs duty is charged on your personal effects, binoculars and cameras, 1,500 ft. of cine film and a reasonable quantity of still films are also allowed free of duty if brought with you.

22% duty is to be paid on the declared value of weapons and ammunition, but the amount paid on weapons is refunded at the time of taking the rifles out of the country.

**Communications and Correspondence :**

As a Receiving Set will be available in camp, any messages received for you can be relayed by our office over the Nairobi Radio Service after the evening news.

Your mail should be sent care of us, as in many cases it is possible to forward it to your camp.

**Formalities :**

We will take care of all formalities, meet you on arrival at the Airport and assist you with Immigration and Customs formalities. We will make all necessary reservations in advance and obtain all Permits from the Game Department, etc.

**Booking of Safaris :**

Only a limited number of safaris can be undertaken at a time and it is not possible to meet all demands. In order to avoid disappointment, it is essential that you arrange the booking of your hunting trip as much in advance as possible.

## PHOTOGRAPHIC TOURS THROUGH THE NATIONAL PARKS OF EAST AND CENTRAL AFRICA

We also organize tours of various lengths in the National Parks under the guidance of experienced European drivers.

Most pictures of wild life are taken in the National Parks or Game Reserve and many people like to complement their hunting trips with such a tour.

Full details of cost, itineraries, etc., will be sent on demand.

## INTRODUCTION

East and Central Africa, in which we include Kenya, Tanganyika, Uganda, Southern Sudan and the Eastern Congo, has rightly been named the "Stronghold of the Wild." Nowhere else in the world is game found in such abundance, from the mighty elephant to the minute dik-dik. Bird life is as colourful and diverse as the animals.

The scenery of Africa is as varied as its game, the visitor can see the snow-capped mountains of Kilimanjaro and Kenya, the great lakes, Victoria, Albert, Edward, Kivu, the source of the Nile, the wide plains of Masailand. Add to this the numerous and picturesque African tribes, ranging from the proud and martial Masai to the diminutive pigmy, and you have a combination that can safely be described as unique.

Throughout the world many people wish to see game and African life without going to the expense of a full-scale safari. This is made possible by the Game Parks and Reserves located throughout Africa. These are no zoos, but often cover thousands of square miles wherein the animals live in perfect freedom, and where they are rapidly losing their instinctive fear of mankind. Safe in your hunting car, which the animals do not seem to link with man, you can see and photograph the big five—lion, elephant, leopard, rhinoceros and buffalo—and the multitude of African Plains game; also hippo and crocodile, which are found in the lakes and rivers.

## OURSELVES

Our company is owned and operated by Professional White Hunters. They are men of wide experience of African Game and Native Life. When taking out a photography safari with us you have the advantage of the personal service given by the hunter, backed by a sound office organisation in Nairobi, together with the security of a firm.

Our hunters will act as your guide on your safari, their knowledge of game and conditions will ensure, as far as is humanly possible, that your safari is all the success that you have a right to expect. We think you will find them pleasant and interesting companions who will have your well-being foremost in their minds at all times.

## YOUR SAFARI

We plan your safari according to your requirements, though we give separately a few suggested safaris for ready reference. Successful photography of game is largely a matter of time and patience, those in search of unusual photographs will want to spend rather longer time in the various parks, whilst others will be content with seeing the animals and the more ordinary snapshots.

It will assist us to plan your safari if you give us the following information:

(a) Size and relationship of your party; this affects accommodation.

(b) Probable duration of your safari.

(c) Animals and areas which you are particularly interested in seeing.

(d) When it would be convenient for you to come.

(e) Do you require any film earmarked for you?

(f) Do you require the services of a professional photographer?

DESCRIPTION OF A SAFARI

We meet you on your arrival at Nairobi, and ask you to give one clear day, not a Sunday, to fix up details and deal with Customs and similar problems.

You travel in a hunting car or station wagon driven by your hunter. The days in the Parks and Reserves follow broadly the same routine. A very early start. The mornings are cool, and the game is grazing freely in the open and the light is soft, you cruise around in your hunting car to see and photograph the animals. Then back to the safari lodge for a late breakfast-off again to see anything of interest, very often bird life is the best target at this time of day. Lunch and a short rest, out again until dusk, when you return to your hut for a bath, drink, dinner and an early bed.

Nearly all the Parks have what are known as Safari Lodges, where you are housed in comfortable huts, often with electric light, running hot and cold water and inside sanitation. We supply food, servants, bedding, in fact everything that is required and not available in the Parks. On the road journeys between Parks you are housed in the best available hotels, and stops are made at places of particular interest.

Here you can see an amazing variety of plainsgame, also the ever popular lions who range freely within earshot of the city's noises. The Ngong National Reserve of about 200 miles acts as a reservoir for the main Park.

**Tsavo National Park:** Exceeds 8,000 square miles, and is located between Nairobi and Mombasa. Many elephant, buffalo and rhino roam through its plains and valleys. Of special interest is the Mzima Springs where hippo can be seen in the crystal clear water. At Mudanda Rock and Kandetcha and Aruba Dams large herds of elephant are normally seen in the dry weather. There are three safari lodges in this Park.

**Amboseli National Reserve:** Lies near the Kenya—Tanganyika boundary, covers about 1,200 square miles, with Mount Kilimanjaro (19,340 ft.) towering above it, forming a wonderful backcloth for your photographs. This reserve specialises in rhino, elephant, lion, plainsgame and birdlife, all of which can be seen in a comparatively small area. Ol Tukai Lodge is available for visitors.

**Marsabit National Reserve:** Although this Reserve covers some 10,000 square miles, the normal safari is confined to the Southern edge where a safari lodge is located near the Uaso Nyire River. This is the home of the Grevy Zebra and Reticulated Giraffe, not found in other parts. Little difficulty will be found in photographing buffalo, elephant and perhaps the more elusive oryz and gerenuk. Journeying to this Reserve you pass the jagged snow-covered peaks of Mount Kenya (17,056 ft.).

TANGANYIKA

**Serengeti National Park:** Over 5,000 square miles. Its vast annual migrations, which usually occur in January and July, are famous. The Eastern edge of the Park contains the Ngorongoro

Crater, the biggest extinct volcanic crater in the world. When the grass on the Serengeti is burnt the crater, where the grazing is still excellent, swarms with gazelle, zebra and game of all kinds. The safari lodge is perched on the lip of the crater which lies 2,000 feet below. Across the Serengeti Plains from Ngorongoro you reach Banagi Hill, nowhere else are there lions to be seen in such abundance. The Seronera Safari Lodge is in the middle of this area.

The famous Masai warrior tribe is to be found in and around the Amboseli Reserve and the Serengeti National Park.

## UGANDA

**Queen Elizabeth National Park:** Covers 700 square miles, adjoining Lakes Edward and George. Famous for its elephants, buffalo, hippopotami, waterbuck and Uganda kob. Giant forest hog, chimpanzee and sitatunga are more difficult camera targets. Abundant bird life, especially water-birds which are found in large quantities on the shores of the Lakes and the Kazinga Channel. To the West frown the snow-capped Ruwenzori Mountains (17,000 ft.) probably better known as the "Mountains of the Moon."

**Murchison Falls National Park:** About 1,200 square miles, sited on the Victoria Nile. The Murchison Falls, where the Nile thunders down through a narrow cleft in the rocks into a pool 160 feet below. In and along the Nile you will see literally thousands of hippopotami and crocodile, and the banks are fringed with a variety of aquatic bird-life. Elephant, buck, and many baboons, colobus and blue monkeys will be seen.

Motoring from Nairobi to these Uganda Parks you pass Lake Elmenteita pink with flamingoes, the settled highlands of Kenya, and in Uganda the source of the Nile at Jinja, and Kampala, the business centre of Uganda.

## BELGIAN CONGO

**Albert National Park:** About 3,000 square miles. Includes the Virunga volcanoes, the plains south of Lake Edward, and the Congo portion of the Semliki River and the Ruwenzori Mountain range. Elephant, buffalo, hippopotami, and topi are plentiful. Safari Lodge at Ruindi.

Other points of interest are the dense ITURI FOREST stretching for hundreds of miles, the home of the pygmies. Captive okapi can often be seen at the government capturing station near Mombasa, in the heart of the forest. The elephant training station, the only one of its kind in Africa, at Gangala na Bodio, is well worth a visit if time permits.

On the journey to Gangala na Bodio you pass through the Manbetu country, one of the most interesting tribes in the Congo with their elongated heads. Returning by Bunia it is still possible to see the duck-billed women.

Tle Watussi tribe, inhabiting the territory of Ruanda-Urundii should not be forgotten.

## CAMPED SAFARIS

If you wish to safari to more remote regions or Reserves where no Safari Lodges exist, we can organise a camped safari on the lines of our big game hunting safaris. Particulars and prices can be had on application.

## CLOSURE OF PARKS

(a) The Kenya National Parks are closed from 1st April to 31st May, and again from 1st November to 15th December.

(b) The Tanganyika National Parks are closed from 15th April to 15th June.

(c) The Uganda National Parks remain open throughout the year.

## TERMS OF BUSINESS

Our quotations include:—

(a) The services of one professional hunter.

(b) The provision of one hunting car or station wagon with petrol, oil etc.

(c) Entrance to Parks and Reserves.

(d) Hotel and Safari Lodge accommodation, and food.
The quotation does not include:—

(a) Personal expenses, laundry, and drinks.

(b) The hire of launches at Queen Elizabeth and Murchison Falls Parks.

(c) The cost of any tribal dances which might be arranged en route.
Our terms of business are 25% deposit in advance and the balance payable on arrival in Nairobi. Your deposit is only forfeited if cancellation is made within sixty days of the date on which the safari is due to start.

Bookings should be made as early as possible, accommodation being difficult to obtain throughout East Africa.

## PHOTOGRAPHY

Africa is the photographer's Paradise. With native and animal life, birds, exotic flowers and trees, and an infinite variety of scenery, the field is unlimited.

(a) **Still camera.** The 35 mm. camera with a 13.5 cm. or equivalent telephoto lens is the most popular. If black and white photography is intended, it is wise to bring a second camera, so that black and white and colour can be taken without delay.

(b) **Cine camera.** Any good make of 16 mm. camera with a revolving turret head with three lens; wide angle, one inch and four inch lens. A steady tripod is most necessary if good pictures are to be made.

(c) **Filters.** The most useful filters are the light and medium yellow, green and orange. It is an advantage to have a haze filter when exposing colour material. A good lens hood is indispensable.

(d) **Exposure meter.** The light is generally very bright and in sunshine the meter readings can be very high. A reliable exposure meter is a must.

(d) **Protection.** Dust is only too common in Africa. When not in use cameras should be kept in dust-proof cases, and when on safari a plastic bag is most useful. Also bring camel hair brushes and tissues.

(f) **Film.** Cine and still film both colour and black and white is available in Nairobi. It is advisable, however, to earmark through us, the film you require. When ordering 16 mm. film size of rolls or magazines should be specified. A keen photographer will use about 3000 ft. of movie film, and will expose about 250 stills.

The majority of our professional white hunters are highly experienced cameramen, well fitted to give you any advice and assistance that you may require under strange conditions. If

needed, however, we can provide first class professional photographers. These photographers can provide their own equipment on hire. Clients provide the film.

Rates can be had on application.

## YOUR PERSONAL KIT

Baggage must be cut down to about two suitcases of reasonable size.

### (a) Clothing We recommend:-

**MEN**

1 light raincoat.

1 broad brimmed felt hat.

2 khaki hunting suits.

1 pullover.

**WOMEN**

As for Men

A warm housecoat for evening wear is useful.

We do not recommend shorts. Ordinary suits and frocks for use in Nairobi and in the various hotels passed on the way. Remember that nights and early mornings can be very cold, and that travelling in East Africa is usually a dusty business.

### (b) Glasses.
If you wear glasses continually, do bring an extra pair. We also advise two pairs of sunglasses.

### (c) Binoculars.
We recommend a light pair of 7 X 50 or 8 X 40 binoculars by any good maker. Stronger glasses are not very satisfactory as they concentrate the haze and shimmer.

### (d) General.
Finally, Nairobi has good shopping facilities where most last minute requirements can be bought. American cigarettes are difficult to obtain.

## CUSTOMS DUTY

### (a) Personal cameras are allowed in duty free, although two cameras per person is normally considered the maximum. A reasonable quantity of unexposed film is allowed in duty free, if brought as accompanied baggage. Large quantities of film or that sent as unaccompanied baggage is dutiable at 22%. As a guide, 500 ft. 8 mm. or 16 mm. film per week is allowed free for the first month, thereafter 1,000 ft. per month.

### (b) Free allowance:-

1. Cigarettes, cigars and tobacco to a total not exceeding ½ lb. altogether (200 cigarettes equal ½ lb.)

2. Wines or spirits or perfume not exceeding 1 pint of each. These items must be carried as accompanied baggage and must be declared. If the free allowance is exceeded duty must be paid on the full quantity.

## HEALTH REQUIREMENTS

### (a) We strongly advise you to be vaccinated against smallpox and innoculated against yellow fever and have an injection against enteric fever, before you leave home. It is compulsory to be in possession of an authenticated and valid International Certificate of Vaccination against smallpox and yellow fever when you leave East Africa. Much time is saved if this is done before you arrive. We would emphasise very strongly that these certificates must be in proper order.

(b) The areas you visit are very healthy. We do, however, advise you to take a recognised malaria prophylactic before, during and after your safari. If these precautions are taken the risk of malaria is very slight.

CURRENCY

Payments to us should be made by cheque to us or to our
Bankers, The National Bank of India, Nairobi. Our charges are
based on sterling rates.

Letter of Credit or Travellers' Cheques are the most satisfactory way of carrying funds. Visitors from non-sterling areas can open "non-resident" accounts with the above bank or any other Bank in Nairobi. The balance of the account is retransferable at the end of your stay.

The basic unit is the East African Shilling.

100 cents = one shilling (Shs. 1/-)

20 shillings = one pound (£1)

Coins in circulation are shillings and fifty-cent pieces in copper-
nickel, and copper coins for 10 cents, 5 cents and 1 cent: notes
for Shs. 5/-, Shs. 10/-, Shs. 20/- and Shs. 100/-.

COMMUNICATIONS

Your mail can be forwarded to you at various points on your
safari, so have it addressed to us. We provide a radio receiving
set, and important messages and cables can be sent to you on the
Nairobi broadcast after the evening news.

ARMS AND AMMUNITION

We recommend that you do not bring these if visiting Game
Parks, as they may not be carried without special permission.
This particularly applies to Pistols and Revolvers which you are
not allowed to import into East Africa.

HOTELS

Wherever possible we book rooms with baths. Accommodation in Nairobi is still very short, and we urge you to let us know immediately any change in your schedule which may affect hotel bookings.

INSURANCE

We strongly recommend that you and your property are
fully covered by insurance. We take every possible care, but we
cannot be held responsible for any accident, injury or illness that
you may incur, or any loss of property whilst on safari.

CONCLUSION

We give separately sample safaris together with the cost.
These can be altered according to your wishes. Safaris can be
modelled to include a visit to the Coast. From October to March
big game fishing reaches a high standard and we can make all the
arrangements including hire of a specially designed boat complete
with all necessary equipment. The following fish can be caught,
Sailfish, Blue Marlin, Shark, Kingfish, Tunney, Dolphin, and
Barracuda. Excellent goggle fishing is also obtainable.

We should be only too pleased to give you any further information or assistance.

Mr. Henry A. Kissinger,

CAMBRIDGE, 38. Massachusetts.

Dear Sir,

Your letter of March 31st. received, for which I thank
you. I regret that I shall not be in Nairobi at the time of your
arrival. My personal attention is required elsewhere for the
months of June and July. I have, however, arranged with the
Rainbow Safaris, one of my associate in this same line of
business, who shall take care of you at my quotation.

The Rainbow Safaris address is P.O.Box 399 Nairobi
and their office is situated in Gulzaar Street. Any taxi driver
should take you to it. I am also sending a copy of this letter
to them for confirmation, and I advise that you should contact
them from now on. In recommending you to them, I have done
so knowing them to be very good at this kind of business and
have a well experienced European staff.

Seeing that you shall be on your own the cheapest rate
I can quote is by mileage at the rate of two East African shilling
per mile and you pay your own hotel expenses en route. This works
out roughly at about Sillings thirty five per diem.

When there are four or more people its run as a baggage
tour and the cost per individual is then considerably cheaper.
Roughly about £60 per person.

Under separate cover and by second class Air Mail I
enclose one of mine and one of the Rainbow Safaris's brochure.

Knowing that you shall enjoy your trip with them, I
remain, Yours very sincerely,

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Q When is the best time to travel in East Africa?

A As we are on the Equator we have no winter: travelling is equally good all the year round except during the period of the "long rains" in April and May and the "short rains" in November.

Q How far ahead must I book?

A As hotel accommodation is limited in East Africa it is advisable to book your tour as far ahead as possible. We need six weeks' notice for four people or less, rather longer notice is required for larger groups. From the hotels' point of view, the busiest months are January, February and March.

Q What is included in your "packaged tours"?

A Our "packaged tour" quotations include all running expenses: the best hotel accommodation available, meals, National Park fees, launch hire and drivers' expenses, etc.; in fact everything except the cost of your drinks and laundry, and some gratuities.

Q What are the hotels like in East Africa and the Belgian Congo?

A Local hotels are not luxurious but they are clean and comfortable with a high standard of catering. We book only at the best hotels and when available provide rooms with private bathrooms. The game lodges are simple but comfortable; canned provisions have to be carried from Nairobi in some instances.

Q What form of transport can I expect on my East African tour?

A We provide late models of Chevrolet sedans or station wagons, fully equipped with tools, luggage racks, picnic cases and all other necessities required for long journeys.

Q Who will be my driver?

A We employ English-speaking African drivers who also act as couriers. European couriers can be provided for an additional charge.

Q When do I pay for my tour?

A As we have to pay cancellation fees in all East African hotels in the event of a last-minute cancellation we require a deposit of 20% at the time of your tour booking with the balance to be paid at the start of your tour.

Q What clothing do I need?

A Ordinary summer clothing is quite suitable, with the inclusion of a sweater or light coat for the cool of the evenings. As laundry facilities are difficult whilst on tour, drip-dry poplin and cotton or similar materials are an asset. For the ladies, slacks are generally more useful than skirts, while scarves make ideal headgear with which to protect the hair from dust and strong sunlight. Formal clothing is not required.

Q Are there any particular articles that I should exclude or include in my baggage?

A As some hotels generate their own electricity at varying voltage, it is inadvisable to bring electrical equipment.

Sun glasses, binoculars and soft felt or straw hats are useful, but please do not bring pith-helmets.

Q What duties and restrictions are there on the importation of cameras, ciné equipment and films?

A Each visitor is allowed two cameras free of duty. There are no restrictions on reasonable quantities of 8 mm. films. You are allowed to import free of duty 500 feet of 16 mm. film per week for the first month of your stay in East Africa and 1,000 feet for each subsequent month.

Q Am I insured whilst on tour?

A We are fully insured against legal liability arising out of injuries sustained by passengers while travelling in our vehicles. We are, however, not liable for any claim arising out of delayed arrivals or departures; the missing of aircraft, train or ship connections; or as a result of changes to planned routes or schedules.

Q What is your currency and in what form should I carry it?

A The East African shilling is the equivalent of an English shilling but is made up of one hundred cents instead of 12 pennies, the present rate of exchange being 7 shillings to $1.00 U.S. As all our tours are prepaid you do not have to carry much money. Travellers' cheques are the most convenient way of carrying currency and these can be cashed anywhere on your tour.

OVERLAND COMPANY LIMITED PO BOX 1642 NAIROBI KENYA

# Overland Tours...

(CAPITALS indicate night stops)

**Tour NNA. (Nairobi National Park)**

This Park, adjoining the city boundary, is unique and the like of it is to be found nowhere in the world. Lions are the main attraction and with due care may be approached and photographed from a few feet. As well as the King of Beasts you will see literally thousands of other types of game, all in their natural surroundings. Truly a visit to the Africa of the early explorers.

**Tour NNB. (Two-hour sightseeing tour of Nairobi)**

Coryndon Museum ("... the finest small museum in Africa ..."), the Arboretum, the Indian Bazaar and the European, Asian and African residential and shopping centres.

**Tour NNC. (Rift Valley viewpoint and Visit to Brackenhurst Hotel)**

An unforgettable short run of 3½-4 hours through the Kikuyu Reserve and European farming lands to the top of the Great Rift Valley, whence a fine view of the extinct volcanoes of Longonot and Suswa is obtained. After a stop at the picturesque Brackenhurst Hotel, return to Nairobi through the coffee plantations of Limuru.

**Tour NND. (Rift Valley Escarpment and Limuru)**

As for Tour NNC, but actually journeying to the bottom of the Great Rift Valley down the magnificently engineered escarpment road. At the bottom is the tiny Italian church (built by Italian prisoners of war), nestling beneath rugged cliffs. Return to Nairobi via Brackenhurst, where a short stop is made as in Tour NNC. This tour takes approximately 4 to 4½ hours but no time limit is laid down. Ample time is therefore available to take photographs and admire this incomparable scenery.

**Tour NNE. (Through Rift Valley to Brown Trout Inn.) One day.**

A day tour, driving across the floor of the Great Rift Valley and then ascending the Western Wall to the Kinangop plateau to more than 8,000 feet above sea level. Wonderful views of Lake Naivasha and the extinct volcanoes will be obtained. A stop is made at the lovely Brown Trout Inn, set in beautiful gardens on the bank of the Chania River. Return to Nairobi via Brackenhurst Hotel—see Tours NNC and NND.

**Tour NNF. (All-in Tour to Treetops.) One night, two days.**

Leaving Nairobi on the morning of the first day, drive via Thika (where a stop may be made to view the spectacular Chania Falls) to NYERI, through the richly fertile Kikuyu Reserve. Lunch is taken at the Outspan Hotel, Nyeri—and then you transfer to a safari-car in which you are escorted by a White Hunter to the world-famous Treetops Hotel. Here, in a comfortable modern hotel perched forty feet above the ground, you spend the night, watching elephant, rhino, buffalo and small game of types too varied to mention, as they come to feed and drink right beneath you. The following morning you return to the Outspan for breakfast and then make a leisurely return to Nairobi, arriving in time for lunch.

**Tour NNG. (Treetops and Nyeri.) Two nights, three days.**

As for Tour NNF but a second night is spent at the Outspan Hotel, NYERI, returning to Nairobi on the third day. This gives ample time to explore the beautiful gardens and surroundings of the hotel, which have long been a favourite spot for painters. Original works by such personalities as H.R.H. the Duchess of Gloucester and the late Lord Baden-Powell may be seen in the hotel.

**Tour NNH. (All-in Tour to Treetops and Nanyuki.) Two nights, three days.**

This is much the same as the Tour NNG, except that the second night is spent at the luxurious Mawingo Hotel, NANYUKI, on the slopes of Mount Kenya. Splendid views of the snow-capped peaks of this equatorial mountain can be seen from the hotel.

**Tour NNI. (All-in Tour to Treetops, Thomson's Falls and the Great Rift Valley.) Two nights, three days.**

This tour begins, as do the three previous ones, with a night at Treetops. However, after breakfast at the Outspan Hotel you then drive around the Aberdare Mountains. The wild open plains stretch far away out towards the Ethiopian frontier, flanked by distant hills and overlooked by the snow-capped head of Mount Kenya.

A short stop will be made at the famous ranch of Mr. Carr Hartley, where numerous movie scenes have been shot, and

then the thriving area of THOMSON'S FALLS is reached. The falls themselves, discovered by the famous explorer Joseph Thomson, are best seen from the garden of the hotel and make a majestic spectacle.

After a night in these delightful surroundings the return journey is made to Nairobi. The road winds down a spectacular escarpment into the Subukia Valley and thence into Nakuru past the remarkable crater of the extinct volcano, Menengai. After lunch in Nakuru (a large market town) you drive through the Rift Valley back to Nairobi past the gem-like lakes of Nakuru, Elmenteita and Naivasha. On the first two of these you are almost certain to see uncountable numbers of flamingoes, an unforgettable sight.

This is a most spectacular and comprehensive tour and one that is highly recommended.

**Tour NNJ. (Amboseli National Reserve.)** Two nights, three days.

After lunch you will leave Nairobi through the National Park, emerging from it at Athi River on to the vast plains of the Masai, whom you will see alongside the road in all their primitive splendour. The night is spent at the picturesque Namanga Hotel, NAMANGA, in the very gardens of which elephants have often been seen.

Early the following morning an expedition is made into the very famous Amboseli National Reserve where all types of big and little game will be seen in their primeval surroundings. Over all looms the majestic dome of snow-capped Mt. Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest mountain (19,340 ft.). A picnic lunch is taken in perfect safety amidst these idyllic surroundings and in the evening you return again to the modern comforts of NAMANGA.

After breakfast on the following day you return once more to Nairobi, sated (if such a thing is possible) with close-quarter views of wild life.

**Tour NNK. (Kilimanjaro Circular Tour.)** Four nights, five days.

Day 1 and Day 2 of this tour are the same as Tour NNJ. After breakfast on Day 3, however, instead of returning to Nairobi you turn South and cross the border into Tanganyika. A lunch stop is made at Arusha, precisely half-way between the Cape and Cairo and lying at the foot of 15,000-ft. Mt. Meru. From here you drive through typically lush surroundings to the colourful hotel at MARANGU on the foothills of Kilimanjaro. This is the centre of a very rich native coffee-growing area and here the night is spent in a delightfully welcome cool climate.

On the following morning you enter the Tsavo National Park (which, with an area of over 8,000 sq. miles, is the biggest in the world) and once more are in primordial surroundings of unchanged Africa. Every bend of the road may bring to view a herd of elephants or a shade-seeking rhino—and at Mzima Springs you will see hippo and crocodiles from an underwater glass-sided tank. The night is spent at Mac's Inn, MTITO ANDEI, at the very gates of the park, and next morning you return to Nairobi. This is a truly wonderful tour and one that will long be remembered.

**Tour NNL. (Amboseli and Ngorongoro.)** Five nights, six days.

Day 1 and Day 2 as for Tours NNJ.

**Day 3**

Taking a picnic lunch, you pass through Arusha on the Great North Road and then enter a spectacular mountainous area. NGORONGORO CRATER (the second largest in the world) is one of the most wonderful sights of Africa. Uncountable herds of game throng the 100-square-mile crater and these can be seen from the most colourful and comfortable lodge which

is built right on the crater's lip. Log fires warm the rooms of this camp and buffalo, elephant and rhino roam unconcernedly nearby.

**Day 4**

Your car will take you down the crater wall for a day's trip across the famed Serengeti Plains, where opportunities for the photographer are unrivalled. The lion is the undisputed master of these plains—but seems to welcome sightseers and photographers. In the evening, return to the welcome comfort of the NGORONGORO lodge.

**Day 5**

Today you leave the cold climate of the crater's edge for the heat of the plains. Evening and night are spent at ARUSHA—where a visit to the market will show you many colourful people, including the proud Masai.

**Day 6**

Return to Nairobi.

**Tour NNM. (Amboseli, Ngorongoro and Tsavo.)** Six nights, seven days.

This tour is a combination of NNK and NNL.

**Day 1**

Leave Nairobi after lunch for NAMANGA.

**Day 2**

All day in Amboseli National Park, returning in the evening to NAMANGA.

**Day 3**

Namanga via Arusha to NGORONGORO.

**Day 4**

Trip down to Serengeti Plains, returning to NGORONGORO.

**Day 5**

Ngorongoro via Arusha to MARANGU.

**Day 6**

Marangu via Tsavo National Park to Mac's Inn at MTITO ANDEI.

**Day 7**

Return to Nairobi.

**Tour NNN. (Kilimanjaro and Coastal Tour.)** Eight nights and nine days.

Days 1 to 3 are the same as Tour NNK. On Day 4, however, instead of entering the Tsavo Park you drive to Voi and thence to Mombasa, the chief port of Kenya. MOMBASA, the "Island of War", is connected to the mainland by a causeway—and before retiring to your hotel for the night you may drive through the picturesque Arab streets of the Old Town and see the centuries-old Fort Jesus. From your hotel the unbelievable blue of the Indian Ocean, the coral reefs, the dazzling white sands, and the sighing palm trees, make an unforgettable picture.

**Day 5**

Drive from Mombasa northwards by the palm-shaded coastal road. Before reaching MALINDI (the 'Melind' of Shakespeare) you will visit the ancient ruined city of Gedi, whose origins are still an archaeological mystery.

**Day 6**

A spare day at MALINDI, which is fast becoming the playground of East and Central Africa and the Rhodesias. Here you may swim, surf or goggle-fish—hire a boat to fish beyond the reef, in one of the world's finest big-game fishing areas—or just laze on the silvery beach.

**Day 7**

Another day at MALINDI. Perhaps today you might like to photograph the picturesque old Arab houses, the colourful streets or the coral pillar erected by Vasco da Gama in the XVth century? Or would you like another attempt at catching a record shark, sail fish or blue marlin? Whichever you choose, you can rest assured that you will be sorry to leave on the morrow.

**Day 8**
Return to Mombasa and then to MTITO ANDEI in the centre of the Tsavo National Park.

**Day 9**
You make an early start and drive into the Park to Mzima Springs (see Tour NNK) with every likelihood of seeing all the major types of big game. Return for lunch at Mtito Andei and in the afternoon drive to Nairobi, having completed one of the most varied, satisfying and interesting short tours that the Dark Continent has to offer.

## Tour NNO. (Kenya Highlands and Uganda.) 11 nights and 12 days.

**Day 1**
From Nairobi drive the breadth of the Great Rift Valley to KERICHO, set in the midst of the largest tea-growing area of East Africa. Here the night is spent at the renowned and luxurious Tea Hotel.

**Day 2**
From Kericho you drive to KAMPALA, the capital of Uganda. En route, circling the vast Lake Victoria, you pass the Owen Falls Dam, which controls the waters of the Nile. This Dam, opened by H.M. Queen Elizabeth II in 1954, is now the accepted source of the Nile—for the true source, the Ripon Falls, discovered by Speke in 1862, now lies many feet below the water level.

**Day 3**
A day in KAMPALA, said, like Rome, to be built on seven hills. Visits may be made to the tombs of the native Kings of Buganda, Makerere University, the native Parliament buildings and many other places of interest. A fascinating day of contrast between the new and old Africa.

**Day 4**
From Kampala drive northwards through the rich and rolling Uganda countryside, where cotton, coffee and many other crops can be seen growing. In the afternoon, after a picnic lunch, you enter the new MURCHISON FALLS National Park. Here elephants are as common as cattle and may be counted in

their hundreds. Crossing the Nile by ferry, the night is spent at the superbly situated Paraa Lodge.

**Day 5**
All day spent in the wonderful surroundings of the park. A launch trip (3 hours) will be taken to the very foot of the falls themselves. These are sometimes included amongst the wonders of the world, for the mighty River Nile here compresses its whole volume into a narrow crevasse only 19 feet across, making a sight that can never be forgotten. En route to this fantastic spectacle you will see from the launch in perfect safety—and at a few yards' range—the wild life which from time immemorial has come down to water at the river—herds of elephant, buffalo, water buck and lion; while in the river itself are great numbers of hippo and crocodiles.

Also today a motor trip can be taken through the park, perhaps to the falls, perhaps to Lake Albert. Whichever is chosen, game in staggering numbers will be seen. And so to bed, once more at Paraa Lodge—where the grunting of hippo and maybe the roaring of lions will lull you to sleep after a truly exciting day.

**Day 6**
Leaving Paraa, a drive through rolling countryside brings you in the evening to FORT PORTAL. A spectacular back-drop to the view is the long chain of the Ruwenzori Mountains, snow-capped and immense.

**Day 7**
Leaving Fort Portal you drive the whole length of the Ruwenzori (called by the ancients "The Mountains of the Moon"), cross the equator into the southern hemisphere and enter the QUEEN ELIZABETH National Park. After lunch at Mweya Lodge, built on an isthmus between Lake Edward and the remarkable Kazinga Channel, you may do a game run. Herds of up to 400 buffalo may be seen, multitudes of elephant, and smaller game too numerous to mention. Lion often make their kill a few yards from the lodge itself, and here, it is no exaggeration to say, you are in the heart of game country unparalleled in the whole world.

**Day 8**
Today a launch trip is made up the Kazinga Channel, which is rightly famous for its bird-life and where families of hippo frolic around the launch, and into Lake Edward. Elephants may be approached and photographed at distances of a few yards— and all in perfect safety. With the snow-capped peaks in the background, it is truly a photographer's paradise. Also today a drive is made to the "explosion area", where in prehistoric days the earth's surface was tormented by volcanic activity. The road winds along the rim of many of the resultant craters, in the bowls of which you will see herds of elephant and buffalo.

**Day 9**
Leaving, with regret, the Queen Elizabeth National Park, you drive today back to Entebbe. En route you will see the famed Ankole cattle, said to be the descendants of the ancient Egyptian herds, with horn spans of up to 6 ft. ENTEBBE is an idyllic town built on the shores of Lake Victoria, the largest single lake in the world, and is the centre of government for Uganda.

**Day 10**
Spare day at ENTEBBE, during which you may visit the world-renowned botanical gardens, the colourful fisherfolk near the town—or simply relax in the comfortable surroundings of the modern hotel.

**Day 11**
Return to Kenya via Kampala, Jinja, Tororo to the night stop at KAPTAGAT, set in beautiful highland surroundings.

**Day 12**
Return to Nairobi through the Rift Valley, with lunch at Nakuru.

## Tour NEO. (Kenya Highlands and Uganda.) Eight nights and nine days.

### Day 1

Nairobi to NYERI, spending night at Treetops. (See Tour NNI.)

### Day 2

Nyeri to THOMSON'S FALLS (See Tour NNI.)

### Day 3

Thomson's Falls to the tea-growing centre of KERICHO via the farming centre of Nakuru and past Lake Nakuru where usually large flocks of flamingoes can be seen.

### Day 4 to Day 10

These are also the same as for Tour NNO. viz. KERICHO—KAMPALA (2 nights)—PARAA LODGE (2 nights)—FORT PORTAL—QUEEN ELIZABETH National Park (2 nights).

### Day 11

Leaving Mweya Lodge in the morning and passing the very remarkable pink salt lake of Katwe, you cross into the Belgian Congo. A short run beneath towering mountains brings you to the very luxurious hotel at MUTWANGA, with the snow peaks of the Ruwenzori seemingly overhanging the beautiful gardens.

### Day 12

Between Mutwanga and BUTEMBO, where this night is spent amongst charming old-world surroundings, you will make a short visit into the primeval Ituri Forest, home of the pygmies. You may see these little people in their natural home, virtually untouched by civilisation—and at a slight extra cost may watch them performing their age-old tribal dances. This is the real darkest Africa of the explorers, the land of Stanley and Livingstone and the slave-traders.

### Day 13

A most spectacular road leads through the forested mountains from Butembo until, at the Kabasha Escarpment (which men said could never be built), you drop down once more into the game plains of the far-famed Albert National Park. The night is spent at the RUINDI Lodge, in the middle of the plains, where buffalo, elephant and lion may be seen a few yards from the camp's surrounds.

### Day 14

After a never-to-be-forgotten drive through the park, the road runs through a saddle of the unique chain of the Virunga Volcanoes, descending to GOMA, on Lake Kivu, Africa's highest and most beautiful lake. As you pass the still active volcano of Nyamlagira you may smell its sulphurous fumes and at night the sky is lit by its glow.

### Day 15

After spending the night at GOMA, by far and away central Africa's most beautiful town, you will be taken for a short drive across the incredible lava-flows which have, from time to time, poured out of Nyamlagira and its sister volcanoes. Also today, if you wish (but this is at extra cost), you may see a dance performed by the Watussi dancers—one of the most colourful sights Africa still has to offer. Another night in the idyllic surroundings of GOMA and the lake.

### Day 16

Leaving Goma, a memorable scenic road leads through the volcanoes to Ruhengeri and shortly after you recross the border into Uganda. An incredible mountain road then takes you into the little town of KABALE, the accepted beauty spot of Uganda. The bamboo forest (home of gorillas), azure

mountain lakes, colourful native homes and peoples make this day an outstanding photographic occasion.

### Day 17

A day's run through the cultivated countryside brings you in the evening to lovely ENTEBBE (see Tour NNO, Days 9 and 10).

### Day 18

Spare day at ENTEBBE.

### Day 12

From Mutwanga, passing through Beni, with its ivory carvers, you enter the depths of the Ituri Forest. At MOUNT HOYO, in a most comfortable old-fashioned hotel, you are in the very heart of the pygmy country— at extra cost (but so worth while) you may see genuine pygmy dances, village life and a veritable forest hunt. Apart from the pygmies, Mt. Hoyo is certainly worth a visit for its natural wonders, the stalactitic caves, the beautiful "Staircase of Venus" waterfall and, of course, the unique flora and fauna of the Forest itself.

### Day 13

Another day savouring the memorable experiences of MT. HOYO.

### Day 14

Retracing your steps, you pass again through Beni and on through most remarkable hilly scenery to BUTEMBO (see Tour NNP, Day 12).

### Day 15

From Butembo to RUINDI Lodge, as for Day 13 in Tour NNP.

### Day 16

Ruindi to GOMA, as for Day 14, Tour NNP.

### Day 17

Spare at GOMA. as for Day 15, Tour NNP.

### Day 18

A drive along the Western shores of Lake Kivu to Bukavu. This lake (which has often been compared with Lake Como) is unimaginably beautiful, and unparalleled in the whole of Africa. BUKAVU, where the night is spent, is a lovely town built on the edge of the lake and the capital of the Kivu Province.

### Day 19

A day spare in BUKAVU, where the colourful native market is worth many photographs. The lakeside villas and gardens of this town are beautiful in the extreme.

### Day 20

An incredibly engineered road through the forested mountains of the Congo-Nile Divide (the true backbone of Africa) leads you to Astrida, one of the main towns of Ruanda Urundi. This is the land of the giant Watussi, believed by many to descend from the ancient Egyptians, owners of great herds of long-horned cattle. In this land of a million hills, the road twists and winds, arriving (for the night stop) at GITARAMA.

## Day 21

In this country of superlatives, the most fantastic mountain road of them all takes you from Gitarama to Ruhengeri and then you cross very shortly into Uganda, where the night is spent in the old-world English hotel at KABALE.

Days 22 to 25 are the same as for Days 17 to 20 of Tour NNP, viz. Kabale-ENTEBBE (2 nights)-KAPTAGAT-Nairobi.

**Tour NEQ** (Kenya, Uganda, Belgian Congo, Ruanda Urundi.)

Also, today, if you wish (but this at extra cost), you may see a dance performed by the Watussi dancers. Another night in the idyllic surroundings of GOMA and the lake.

## Day 16

Leaving behind you the lake, the volcanoes, and passing through the Albert National Park, the night is spent at BUTEMBO.

## Day 17

Butembo to MT. HOYO. (See Day 12, Tour NNQ.)

## Day 18

Spare at MT. HOYO.

## Day 19

Leaving Mt. Hoyo, you strike yet farther into darkest Africa. Travelling beneath mighty forest giants, with brilliant birds and butterflies brightening the shades, crossing great rivers, tributaries of the Congo, you come in the afternoon to the little fairyland of EPULU. Here, from an hotel built beneath soaring trees beside the cataracts of the Epulu River, you may see the rarest of African animals—the okapi (whose very existence was unknown a few decades ago) and, no less wonderful, a herd of trained African elephants as they are driven to the water by their mahouts.

## Day 20

A long day's drive through equatorial forests brings you to STANLEYVILLE, one of the largest and most modern towns of the Belgian Congo. Built on the banks of the Congo River (here nearly one mile wide), it was founded by the great explorer H. M. Stanley in 1883.

## Day 21

Tour NSR finishes this morning—but you may continue your African travels if you so wish by making the unforgettable river journey down the Congo River to Leopoldville. Alternatively, you can fly from Stanleyville to any destination in the world.

7th April, 1959.

Mr. Henry A. Kissinger,
Associate Director,
Harvard University,
Center for International Affairs,
6 Divinity Avenue,
CAMBRIDGE 38 - Mass.

Dear Mr. Kissinger,

Many thanks indeed for your letter of March 31st,
in which you advise me that you will be in Nairobi
about 11th June, and would like to see something
of the country and game areas.

In order to give you details on the tours we
arrange, I enclose herewith our folder and take
the liberty of suggesting that you consider either
Tour No. 2, or if you can spare the extra few days,
Tour No. 3.

Tour No. 2 would take you to the world famous
NgoroNgoro Crater, returning to Nairobi on the
6th day, whilst Tour No. 3 would also include
NgoroNgoro but over and above this, you would
have a chance to visit the Amboseli Game Reserve,
which is quite definitely worth seeing.

I could arrange either tour to start as from
13th June and now look forward to hearing from
you further whether six or nine days are acceptable.

Accommodation would be arranged in the National
Park Lodges, which are comfortable, and you would
have the services of one of our professional hunters
at your disposal, and travel in a Land Rover hunting
car. A full description of what you can expect to
see, is given in the folder, and I can assure you
that you will have wonderful opportunities to ob-
serve our wild life, both big game and plains game,
and to obtain excellent photographic records, if
you are keen on taking pictures.

## Game

Whilst rhinos and the buffaloes are usually seen every night, the visitor will appreciate that the movement of wild life cannot be controlled. Elephants often visit the pool below Treetops for the animals have learnt that salt is to be found there. However, it should be remembered that no guarantee can be given that big game will appear.

Even if no big game appear a visitor will probably see a variety of buck, a "sounder" of wild pig, a troupe of baboons or even a family of the rare giant hog. Visitors have an interesting night in comfort, up among the branches. If buffaloes or elephants or rhinos are not seen, no tariff charge is made.

For the first 232 visits after June 5th, 1957, when Treetops was reopened, the percentage of big game seen was buffalo 88%, elephant 44% and rhino 91%.

These odds, of course, change with the weather or season.

## TREETOPS' TARIFF

Treetops' tariff varies from a maximum of Shs. 255/- to Shs. 100/- per person; this includes the entrance fee to the National Park paid by Treetops.

For any single person making a reservation the basic charge for one night is Shs. 255/-. If, as is usually the case, other guests stay at Treetops on the same night, a refund of Shs. 100/- is made and in this way the charge to the individual is reduced to Shs. 155/- only.

The following reductions are made for parties booked by one person on behalf of the party.

<table><thead><tr><th></th><th></th><th></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>2 Persons a night</td><td>Shs. 155/- each</td></tr><tr><td>3 - 6</td><td>Shs. 125/-</td></tr><tr><td>7 - 10</td><td>Shs. 105/-</td></tr><tr><td>11 - 12</td><td>Shs. 100/-</td></tr></tbody></table>

A party of less than twelve people does not entitle the party to the exclusive use of Treetops unless prior arrangements have been made; visitors will be charged at the rate of their party booking.

Children over twelve are charged as above. It is regretted that children under twelve cannot be accepted unless special arrangements have been made.

For special accommodation consisting of two rooms, private balcony and toilet, a charge of fifty per cent extra is made.

## The Outspan Hotel

P.O. Box 24 Telephone Nyeri 9

The Outspan is a pleasant country hotel surrounded by 70 acres of gardens and grounds through which flows a trout river.

## To reserve accommodation

Write to the Manager, the Outspan Hotel, Nyeri. Telegrams: Outspan, Nyeri; Telephone: Nyeri 9, or bookings can be made through any travel agency. Most visitors prefer to spend a night or two in the comfort of the Outspan Hotel, before going to Treetops.

To confirm the booking visitors are requested to send a £1 deposit per person. It is returnable if 4 days' notice of cancellation is given.

The Treetops Hotel was the idea of Mr. E. Sherbrooke Walker, seen here at the foot of the first Treetops. Princess Elizabeth—as she was then—was staying at Treetops when she became Queen of England. The plaque on the tree reads: "On this Mgumu tree H.R.H. The Princess Elizabeth and H.R.H. The Duke of Edinburgh spent the night of February 5th, 1952. While here Princess Elizabeth succeeded to the throne through the death of her father, King George the Sixth."

# TREETOPS

TO SEE BIG GAME, COME TO TREETOPS

A trip to Treetops

Description of Treetops by a late Warden
of The Royal National Parks of Kenya

Treetops is a delightful miniature hotel built 50 feet above the ground in the branches of a giant fig tree. It is organized and run under the excellent management of the well-known Outspan Hotel of Nyeri.

Some notes from my diary may be of interest to those who contemplate a visit to this unique forest sanctuary.

3 p.m.

Just settled in at Treetops. We left the Outspan at 2 p.m. by car and 20 minutes later arrived at the edge of the forest. Here porters were waiting to carry our kit. Preceded by the White Hunter, a quiet walk for a quarter of a mile along a forest track, criss-crossed by game paths, brought us to our destination. Along this track, and spaced at distances of 25 yards, are ladders built into trees. Should, by any chance, a dangerous animal be encountered, refuge is at hand.

Monkey's-eye view

As we approached the great tree in which the house is built, baboons leapt from its branches and scampered out into the sunlit glade beyond. Our kit was hoisted aloft by means of a pulley and the porters departed. Then up and up, we climbed by ladders to the Wendy house above.

From the comfort of the shady verandah the world is seen as the monkeys see it. Below and immediately in front of us is an open glade, with a large pool of water to our right, and a salt-lick at our feet. The forest crowds in on the glade, a sea of green broken here and there by splashes of pink where the flowering Cape chestnuts fountain up among the darker forest trees. We are now things of the forest, too, and we take stock of our surroundings.

Leading into the glade are many age-old elephant paths. These are the highways of the forest, engineered and graded by the elephant herds, then used by all and sundry.

Curious baboons

As I have been writing, a wart-hog with huge curving "tushes" has trotted into the open, followed by his wife and three little pigs. They made straight for the pool and are now wallowing in the mud at the verge. The baboons are lounging about the salt-lick and two of them, one large and one small, have climbed our tree and are peering over the edge of the verandah, all curiosity and quite unafraid.

5 p.m.

Tea and cakes have been served. The baboons, now quite friendly, are sitting within a few feet. They enjoyed the cake as much as we did. Two bushbucks have threaded their way daintily across the glade, watered, and moved on into the forest. A herd of seven waterbucks, two bulls and five cows, are grazing in the open. Some Sykes monkeys are leaping from branch to branch of a tree to our left. A pair of hammer-headed storks are hunting for frogs in the shallows of the pool, and just in the shade at the edge of the forest, the dark forms of three giant hogs can be seen slowly moving about.

The sun is slanting to the west, and long, dark shadows are creeping across the sunlit grass.

7 p.m.

The last two hours have been exciting. All is now changed. Twilight merged to moonlight and the stars came out. Bushes took on the shapes of animals. Some seemed to move. One member of our party swore a bush moved down to the pool, drank, and then moved back again. But other things really were on the move. A rhino cow followed by a small calf strolled down a highway and came right to our feet. The mother, puffing and grunting as she licked the salt, and baby lying down beside her, searched for his evening meal.

Herd of buffaloes

The giant hogs moved into the open, now ten in all. Some are at the water, others just standing about. Every now and then one of the big boars makes a sharp clacking noise, like two sticks being knocked together rapidly, as they champ their tusks. A small herd of buffaloes passed at a quick walk straight through the glade. The cows and calves led the way, while behind followed a great bull; round his neck was a garland of creepers and he looked for all the world like some Eastern nabob at a social function. They had some other destination in mind, and they did not stay.

Dinner over early, we settled in warm coats and rugs to watch. The cow rhino and calf were back on the salt-lick. They had been joined by four more rhinos. There was much snorting and blowing, for rhinos are suspicious even of their own species, and are the most unsociable beasts I know. Then a long, dark river seemed to pour out of the forest and some two hundred buffaloes flowed in. They are silent beasts. Only an occasional grunt or click of horn heralded their approach.

Elephants

Then the elephants came. Sailing out of the gloom like ships of the line, ears widespread and tusks gleaming white in the moonlight, sixty strong. On they came, straight to the salt-lick, the buffaloes parting to give them passage, the rhinos standing firm, snorting their protests, and the elephants giving way.

Looking down from above, this mass of wild-life was fantastic. Milling round immediately below were elephants, buffaloes and rhinos, all within a short distance.

The dawn

The buffaloes were the first to leave; as if at a given signal they threaded their way out and departed for distant grazing grounds. Some time after midnight the elephants moved off but rhinos came and went all night long. Towards dawn the elephants passed back, some drinking at the pool, others quietly browsing.

A night such as this has to be experienced to appreciate the transition from civilisation to a primeval world. Unreal, vivid and wild, a cavalcade to delight, on a stage of the African night.

Time of departure

Parties leave the Outspan for Treetops at 2 p.m.

How far to walk

There is a quarter of a mile to walk through the forest to Treetops; owing to the steepness of the path, and the gangway to Treetops, the trip is not suitable for elderly or infirm people or young children.

Meals

Tea and dinner are served at Treetops. Breakfast either at Treetops or else at the Outspan on return there about 9 a.m.

Accommodation

At Treetops there is water sanitation and wash basins. There are five double rooms and two single rooms. Would visitors when booking please say if they are willing to share a room with any other member of the party.

Short trips in the daytime there and back "just to see Treetops" cannot be arranged. Movements of game make it impracticable.
