On Foot Across East Africa
An incredible journey on foot from the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro to the Indian Ocean, offering a rare view of East Africa as it is today and how it once was before the incursion of European civilisation. This book examines the possible future facing the once-pristine landscape, its magnificent animals, and its indigenous inhabitants.
Ridgeway meets many memorable characters, including the descendants of the Waliangulu - the People of the Long Bow - a tribe thought to have long vanished from the area. And his range of literary and historical reference gives the book a fascinating back-drop.
