The great fauna of Africa.

This is a 1971 Hameed Moghul pictorial map of East Africa, including Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda. Wonderful color illustrations of iconic African wildlife, including a cheetah, rhinoceros, elephant, zebra, and giraffe, create this piece's charm. Also, these portraits provide a framework for the map, which highlights national parks (orange) and game reserves (green). The Rift Valley Lakes, such as Lake Victoria, Lake Tanganyika, and Lake Malawi, are illustrated and labeled. Icons mark lodges, hotels, and campsites (tents), and are explained in a legend in the lower right. Yellow lines trace major road networks.
Publication History and Census
This map was designed by Hameed Moghul and published by the East African Wild Life Society in 1971. An empty OCLC reference exists for this map, suggesting that a former cooperative member created the listing. Examples of other editions are present in institutional collections. We are aware of two other examples in private hands.
