"This, the second part of A Warden's Diary, covers the latter half of a year from July to December. ...Since these notes were first written, this park has steadily improved. Game has multiplied and the response to preservation in this sanctuary has been amazing. Many of the smaller antelope, especially in the forest areas, which had almost been exterminated by the traps and snares of poachers are increasing again. ...Many visitors are astounded that often within fifteen minutes of leaving the busy streets of Nairobi they are watching wild lions in their natural surroundings."
