This is the account of Count Teleki's discovery of two major lakes in eastern Kenya as described by his lieutenant, Ludwig von Hohnel. A truly interesting set with exploration and hunting for the big game (rhino/elephant/buffalo) of that area. This set ranks in, our opinion, as one of the most important in the discovery and exploration of new hunting grounds in East Africa. A very scarce work that is considered one of the great books on hunting and exploration of East Africa. We only obtain a set of these books very rarely.
