The Return fare (available for two years) is about 72 pounds.
Fairly good hotel accommodation can be had at both
Mombasa and Nairobi.
Before any shooting can be done it is necessary to
take out a Game License, which may be obtained
without difficulty at either of these two centres. This
license (which costs 50 pounds) imposes an obligation on the
sportsman to make a return before he leaves the
country of every animal shot by him. By obtaining
a special license two elephants, a giraffe, greater kudu,
buffalo and eland may be shot; but there are various
stipulations and fees attaching to this license which
alter from time to time.
Fairly good maps of the country may be obtained
at Stanford's, Long Acre, W.C., while the Game Laws
and Regulations can be procured from the Colonial
Office in Downing Street.
Passenger trains leave Mombasa at 11 a.m. on Mondays,
Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, and are timed to
arrive at Nairobi at 11:15 next morning and at Kisumu
(the railway terminus on Lake Victoria Nyanza) at 9
o'clock on the morning following. The First-Class Return
fares from Mombasa to Nairobi, Kisumu, and Entebbe are
5 pounds 17s.
