These explorers took us on an edu-
cational and entertaining journey a.
cross hot, shifting desert sands, over
high mountains and through deep
jungle. Travelling six months, they
covered over eleven thousand miles
and visited native Sultars never be-
fore photographed by motion picture
camera. The entire trip was made in
three trucks constructed especially
for safari travel.
One of the interesting highlights of
the picture was the travel over so
many different kinds Of soil and land.
The expedition started in a big city
in a fertile part of northern Egypt.
Not long after they started, however,
they reached the high, Atlas noun
tains. Leaving them, they made their
way south into the huge Sahara des-
ert. Often they would reach oasis in
the desert and see several caravans
of Mohammedan traders on their way
to exchange goods.
The camels, or ships of the desert,
are often used for warriors to ride
upon as well as for trading purposes.
Sights, such as Arabs duelling, were
comomnly seen on the journey. This
is very interesting to watch as the
men would dance about and jump in
to the air, so as to get their oppon-
emit nervous and confused. Sharp,
steel swords were used and tough,
dried canvas was used as a shield.
The villages were several, small
huts clustered together. The natives
who lived in these villages, were very
daring and strong. In order to break
a path through the jungle, they would
hack at the tough vines and brush
until it gave way before their sharp
blades.
