What reading level is Hunting the Elephant in Africa book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The tree or bush was to give the direction of the place, and if one takes a compass bearing on it, from the point at which it is indicated, one will find that the guide keeps fairly true to this bearing.
In the Awemba country, distances are measured by the "Mtundu." You are told how many Mtundu it is to the place you wish to reach. Now a Mtundu is the space between two streams. As the greater part of the country is a gentle rolling country covered with wood and long grass, it is seldom that any... view is ob- tained, and if it was, it would be generally impossible to locate the position of the next stream. So a Mtundu may be one or may be ten miles, and, if anything, you are worse off than with " near " and "far." Also the un- comforting thought occurs, after crossing a small dip, that perhaps this does not count as a Mtundu, which is generally the case. The Mtundu must not be taken too Hghtly, and it saves disappointment to avoid count- ing any but bona fide unquestionable ones.
There are no professions amongst the happy Bantu, except occasionally there are f amihes of blacksmiths and hunters.
