First sentence: As the train wended its way toward Dover's chalky cliffs, disapproving British eyes shot darts at the eight scruffy travelers.
Description: What does it take to follow your dream? Quite a bit if it requires traversing two continents from London to Cape Town. After their seven-month overland dream safari turns into a nightmare, one couple sets off across Africa — alone — from the heights of Mt. Kilimanjaro to the depths of war-torn Mozambique and beyond. Their immersion in the controlled chaos of African life leads from one wild, quirky, edge-of-your-seat adventure to another. A true story.
Notes: "…Journeys of body and soul in every sense of the word. The author writes with honesty and a sharp eye for detail, making this an invaluable amalgam of information for readers of adventure travel or anybody who is considering “do-it-yourself” safaris or simply visiting Africa. Interlaced with this honesty and detail are Wilson’s beautiful prose, obvious passion for adventure and a deep inquisitiveness about other cultures, making this book a pleasure to read. Highly recommended." (5 stars) ~ Mayra Calvani, Midwest Book Review
