(Czech, p. 24) "Bell first arrived in Africa in 1897 and was renowned as an elephant hunter, particularly in the Karamojo region northeast of Lake Victoria. This book describes his fourth safari into the region. Crossing the River Turkwel, he pursued elephants near the Dabasien Mts., through Karamojo, then continued into the bush and swamp country west of Lake Rudolf. One of the best of the more modern big game hunting titles." - Kenneth Czech, An Annotated Bibliography of African Big Game Hunting Books, 1785-1999 Click here for full details of this book, to ask a question or to buy it on-line.
