After deciding not to run for President in the 1908 election Roosevelt planned a year-long African safari. Roosevelt wooed the Smithsonian Institution to join the expedition by offering to contribute wildlife specimens for its collections. Arrangements were made for the Roosevelt party to do the hunting and shooting while the Smithsonian scientists and taxidermists supervised the preservation and shipping of the specimens back for research and exhibition.
