SZECHENYI, Count Z.
LAND OF ELEPHANTS. Big Game Hunting in Kenya, Tanganyika and Uganda.
1935.
Illustrated. Light foxing to prelims, otherwise an excellent and clean tight copy with glassine sleeve. A scarce title, and verging on "cllassic". "Originally published in Hungary in 1934, this translation details a Hungarian nobleman’s pursuit of elephant in the Kitui Forest and along the Tiva River in Kenya. He also hunted bongo near Mt Kenya, kuku along the northern reaches of Lake Rudolph, leopard on the northern Guaso Nyiro, and lion on the Serengeti Plain. Széchenyi wrote other African hunting titles that still await translation." (Czech, page 162)
