Adventures X Africa"
by Brandon Wilson
What Does It Take to Follow
Your Dream?
That’s what one couple discovers when they set off on a seven-month, 10,000+ mile overland journey from Morocco to Cape Town. As dedicated independent travelers, they’d already traveled around the world. But was a trans-African odyssey too much for even them?
How do you create tantalizing dishes from grubs? Or avoid having a spear tossed through your camera?
Against their better judgement
they join an English do-it-yourself overland safari. Flung into the midst of twenty-one odd companions, they’re shocked to discover that many of them have never even camped before. And the "guides" know Africa as well as the dark side of the moon. After watching their dream turn into a nightmare, they eventually set off across Africa–alone.
Join the adventurous couple
as they meet mountain gorillas face-to-face. Melt down during a blistering Saharan breakdown. Hunt dik-dik with Pygmies. Climb Africa’s highest mountain. Feel the raw power of the Serengeti. Hop the "gun-run" through a civil war. Rush down thundering Class V Zambezi Rapids and dive into South Africa’s cauldron of turmoil.
It's sometimes funny, sometimes anguished, yet always real.
Nothing is held back or glossed-over:
from the hustle and hassle of the souk to shady dealings in
black-market alleys, from border extortion to the thrill of
sandmatting the Sahara eight feet at a time.
