Recenzii

'Rick Ridgeway is a graceful and engaging companion, and East Africa teems with danger, challenge, and excitement'
'A wonderful journey through a fascinating area ... Evocative and impassioned'
'Anyone who cares for this priceless corner of the world will find much to savour. And for those who yearn for the thrill of the bush, for the glimpse of elephant at a waterhole, for the crunch of dry soil beneath their feet, for the pre-dawn chorus of the waking savannah, reading it is probably the next best thing to being there'
'An enlightened look at a popular part of Africa and a truly splendid read ... Ridgeway has balanced the excitement of a good story with a wide range of historical and literary references'

Descriere

A classic travel book of an incredible journey from the summit of Kilimanjaro to the Indian Ocean

Textul de pe ultima copertă

In this widely acclaimed tale of adventure, renowned explorer and adventurer Rick Ridgeway takes us on a five-hundred-kilometer trek from the icy summit of Mount Kilimanjaro, across the famed Tsavo parks of Kenya, to the shores of the Indian Ocean. Here is a rare and pulse-quickening view of one of the last wild places on Earth, as Ridgeway and his party find themselves eyeball to eyeball with lion and buffalo, elephant and crocodile. But Ridgeway has more in mind than sheer adventure. Beyond the high drama of the walk itself, Ridgeway captivates the reader with the visceral excitement of the presence of the magnificent animals and his passionate cry for their preservation.
