XXIX. CHAPTER THE LAST

With our return from Juja to Nairobi for a breathing space, this volume

comes to a logical conclusion. In it I have tried to give a fairly

comprehensive impression-it could hardly be a picture of so large a

subject-of a portion of East Equatorial Africa, its animals, and its

people. Those who are sufficiently interested will have an opportunity

in a succeeding volume of wandering with us even farther afield. The

low jungly coast region; the fierce desert of the Serengetti; the swift

sullen rhinoceros-haunted stretches of the Tsavo; Nairobi, the strangest

mixture of the twentieth centuries A.D. and B.C.; Mombasa with its wild,

barbaric passionate ebb and flow of life, of colour, of throbbing sound,

the great lions of the Kapiti Plains, the Thirst of the Loieta, the

Masai spearmen, the long chase for the greater kudu; the wonderful, high

unknown country beyond the Narossara and other affairs will there be

detailed. If the reader of this volume happens to want more, there he

will find it.
