In later years, whenever JTM would rate a certain woman as umslopagus 37, or umslopagus -3, his family members “unerringly deduced my drift.”

The safari also brought one cook and four saises [a person employed to take care of a horse]—who were responsible for each horse and mule, “of which we had four.” Eighty porters from numerous tribes—including Swahili, Wakamba, Kikuyu, Masai, Lumbwa, Kavirondo, and others—carried luggage and other loads. About twenty totos [boys] stowed away and emerged to help “when it was too late to send them home.” The totos received only food and lodging, but they gained “the experience which would enable them later to become porters.” Daily life on the safari was exhilarating:

For weeks and months on safari you live a nomadic tent life amid surroundings so different from what you are accustomed to that you are both mentally and physically rejuvenated. You are among a strange and savage people in strange and savage lands, threatened by strange and savage animals. The life is new; the scenery is new. There is adventure and novelty in every day of such a life, and it is this phase that has the most insistent appeal. Even if one never used his rifle, one would still enjoy life on safari.16
