The Rediscovered Country

German East Africa was a German colony in the African Great Lakes region, which included what are now Burundi, Rwanda, and the mainland part of present Tanzania. In 1913, Stewart White, his wife, and Richard John Cuninghame, the successful big game hunter, set out from Nairobi with thirty porters and twenty donkeys. They found the wildlife plentiful, especially the lions, although they saw no elephants.
