About the book

This is the story of an extraordinary thousand-mile trail through one of Africa's most fascinating countries. The remarkable achievement was not surviving three armed robberies or the gruelling physical journey itself, but the gradual growth of affection for and understanding of another race—a testament to the transformative power of slow travel and genuine human connection.
