On safari with President Theodore Roosevelt...
Captured by a warlike nomadic tribe...

Riding on a train through
the African savannah...and

The year is 1909, and you and your parents are traveling through British East Africa, invited to spend time on a friend's coffee plantation. When you arrive, you join a safari searching for the incredibly rare fringe-eared oryx—and soon become involved in a very dangerous hunt. You'll also get to meet larger-than-life President Theodore Roosevelt, peaceful Kikuyu tribesmen, and the warlike Maasai.
Will you be bitten by poisonous snakes? Or will you find the fringe-eared oryx and save it from extinction? Only you, as indiana Jones, can choose your own adventure.
