Synopsis
Lady Grace Mackenzie and others depart on safari aboard the Uganda railroad heading for the interior of British East Africa. They set up camp and observe native African dances and rites. Herds of buffalo, zebras, hartebeests, giraffes, rhinoceros and others are seen as is a flock of millions of locusts. Vultures circle around a fallen buffalo. Wild pigs are killed with poisoned arrows. Lady Mackenzie and her chief hunter track down and shoot two charging lions and a charging three and one-half ton rhinoceros. At a water hole, elephants, rhinos, hyenas, baboons, wild pigs, oryx, antelopes, guinea fowl and zebras guard over each other with some fighting.
