Hippopotamus in river East Africa

This original East African wildlife postcard features a striking image of hippopotamuses swimming together, titled East African Game (Hippopotamus). It was published by Frank Ltd. of Mombasa as part of their East Africa postcard series. The card was mailed from Nairobi, Kenya and carries a legible October 19, 1966 postmark. Postage includes a Kenya Uganda Tanzania Christmas stamp along with a By Air Mail Par Avion label. A handwritten travel message on the reverse references photography and wildlife observation in East Africa. A strong example of mid-20th-century African travel and wildlife ephemera, appealing to postcard collectors and African history enthusiasts.
