Description

This book describes an incredible land journey from England through Europe to the heart of Central Africa. Not since Richard Burton's exploration of the Nile in the 1850s has a traveler set out, on foot, to journey up the Nile to Ruwenzori, an equatorial mountain in the heart of what was then the Belgian Congo. Dr. Syed Z. Ahmed, a modern-day Marco Polo, provides the reader with an amazing saga of human heartbreak & inspiration in an historical story that is all the more remarkable for its sheer battle against a dangerous & often hostile environment. Dr. Ahmed is an author & lecturer as well as a cultural anthropologist & world-acclaimed documentary film producer. He has traveled to over 130 countries & has lived among some of the most remote tribes in Africa, South America & Asia. You will be astounded & captivated by an account of living among some of the remotest areas of the globe by a man who thoroughly enjoys his work. You are always at his side, whether helping to keep the boat away from crocodiles or spending the night on the plains of Ruindi, surrounded by monkeys, antelopes, zebras, buffalo, ostriches, & hippopotami. The world of Africa becomes clear & unforgettably beautiful as Dr. Ahmed describes the event of his journey.
