'While primarily a description of British East Africa, the author provides considerable information on big game, its location, methods of stalking, and the game reserves. He lists rhinoceros, hippopotamus, and zebra as pests and describes a curious creature called the gu-gu, an ape-like creature with but one eye and a huge spike at the end of one arm.' - Czech.
