Lieutenant Von Wiese und Kaiserswaldau describes his experiences hunting in German East Africa. He suggests the best places for hunting are the military posts Schirati and Ikoma and the Kagera River country. He explains how a European traveler should bring hunting supplies to Africa, prices for some goods, and his belief that the best time for hunting is between February and March. While the hunting is good from Schirati to Ikoma, the Kagera River country is even more fruitful with prospects. The author lists specific opportunities to hunt big game and details the days that such a journey would take, stating that the Kagera River country “commends itself more to the ethnographer.”
