I'm feeling my age.

My first hunt was in 1971, in Kenya, with Ker, Downey and Selby. It lasted five weeks and I arranged to arrive several days in advance, so I could get acclimated and spend some time in a national park observing the game and learning the Swahili names for the various animals I planned to hunt. Neithere the gun bearers nor the tracker I hunted with spoke English, and I was on many occasions separated from the guide (PH) and needed to ask "Which is the bull?", or "Right, left, or in the middle?"

It was a wonderful five weeks and I took most of the plains game I was after, plus two elephants and
a rhino. The last two weeks were spent looking for a really big elephant and involved a lot of walking and coming back empty handed, but it all worked ouot in the end and I was anxious to go again the next year, to Tanzania, where I got among other things lion, leopard, buffalo, elephant, greater kudu and sable in the course of three weeks in the Selous.
