520 _aWhether travelling in a pirogue down the Niger river, on foot in Northern Kenya in the company of a Samburu game ranger or listening to Malian music under the desert stars, the author recalls his journeys with a sense of exhilaration and a warm affection for the humor and resilience of the people he encounters a long the way. The spellbinding landscapes, the vanishing wildlife, old world courtesies, ancient story - telling and the random strands of history are all touched upon in this vivid snapshots of a continent torn between the demands of the twenty first century and its ancient traditions.
