Travels in Africa - Paul Johnson - Bog

An as-it-happened account of a retired English couple's 33,000 kms camping road trip across southern Africa, from the Cape to Dar es Salaam - and back. Their "letters" home are honest, funny and angry. Share their surprise as they: find themselves unprepared for the coldest late winter in SA in memory as they visit Namaqualand to see the spectacular spring flowers; battle to save their beer and omelettes from raiding baboons and monkeys; and realise the limited progress made in South African society since 1994. Read of their surprises in: experiencing Zimbabwe; discovering that there's more than "some" desert in Namibia; seeing the San people's rock art in SA, Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe and Tanzania; and enjoy their wonder and delight at the abundance and beauty of the area's flora and wildlife.
