description: As an associate editor of Getaway magazine Robyn Keene-Young landed a dream assignment: a journey through six distinctive African ecosystems to document each environment and its inhabitants. She began where many first time visitors to Africa begin in a safari vehicle in the grasslands of the Serengeti. But she knew almost immediately that this was not the way to see the rest of this extraordinary continent. She needed to get out of the car and stretch her legs to feel the earth underfoot and the sun on her back to pack Band-Aids and anti-inflammatories and experience the African wilderness unplugged in 3D.And so Africa: Unplugged chronicles Keene-Youngs adventures on the continent under her own steam. Written in her inimitable honest  often humorous always insightful  style Keene-Young traipses Ugandas Bwindi rainforest in search of gorillas; snorkels Botswanas Okavango Delta and canoes Zimbabwes Zambezi River at the mercy of hippos and crocodiles. She gets on her belly with the beetles and lizards of Namibias Namib Desert before hiking up Cape Towns famous Table Mountain to bend down and smell the fynbos.Each chapter showcases both the delights and trials of her travels to her destination as well as her sojourn in each unique ecosystem. The pages of Africa: Unplugged are a journey like no other.
