from Sportsafield

Interestingly, as a safari country Mozambique was not known for its elephant, because in those days much heavier ivory was still available elsewhere. Rather, Mozambique was considered OK for lion, good for leopard, and had vast numbers of buffalo-but she was probably most famous for her variety and abundance of plains game. More
