This fast-paced account of a unique exploratory expedition follows the author and her fellow river guides as they raft 170 miles through Tanzania’s Selous Game Reserve, the largest uninhabited reserve in Africa, down rivers teeming with thousands of hippos and crocodiles. After completing the river portion of the adventure, they follow a remote, rarely used route to scale Mount Kilimanjaro. Every day brings new adventures with wild beasts and environmental challenges. Despite the obstacles they face, the group not only survives but thrives in a place where, at the time of their journey in 1981, any contact with the outside world was impossible. Readers will have a hard time putting this book down. Free on Kindle.
