It is described in advance as the story of a hunter's wanderings in Africa with his son as cinematographer. H. A. and Sidney Snow led an expedition which went there in 1919 to collect specimens for a West Coast museum of natural history. They were away three years. South Africa was first visited. Later the party re-entered by way of Mombassa and pushed through jungle and desert beyond the Equator. This is the premier big game country of the world. Teeming with the great cats, pachyderms, giraffes, ostriches, zebras, antelopes. buffaloes, it offers royal sport that intrigued Rainsford, Roosevelt. Cunningham-Grahame, F. C.
