Beryl Markham - lioness at large
this Aviatrix was a pioneer of African Bush Flying - with a flamboyant love life 
:
With her biplanes (Avian, Moths etc.) she flew in the 1930s all over East-Africa as a Taxi-, Mail-, Medevac-, Delivery-Service. Finally she crossed the Atlantic East-West solo with a Vega.
I will post some of her flights from her book “West with the Night” over time.
She invented animal spotting by air - dropping detailed Big Game sighting reports in small pouches on hunting groups or landing in the open close to their Safari tents.
There is a whole range of possibilities for Devs - a great first East Africa free pack is this - which you actually need for this flight:

BM shuttled between Nairobi and London in those kites six times (via Sudan, Egypt, Med) - always haggling with (and sometimes forced to detours deep into the desert) paranoid Italian military paper-shufflers, the country controlled much of the Sahara at the time:
