Uganda Railway never ended in Uganda.
One has the end point Port Elisabeth (in old time Uganda), simply Kenya(BEA) incorporated
Kenya(BEA) did not want any discussions with the neighbouring province.

Great movie! 90 day Safari? THIS is what I have imagined a real Safari from the past would have been like having never been on one. Kind of a brutal, rugged adventure through at least a couple of countries and apparently thousands of miles. I guess back in the day, they had no choice? The way they camped in the bush, cooked over an open fire, hunted on foot, etc., reminds me of some our elk camps at times. I noticed they hunted with open sights except for the leopard. What rifles and calibers were they using? Beautiful depiction of the land, native people and wildlife. Thanks for sharing this!
