Traversa, A Solo Walk Across Africa from the Skeleton Coast to the Indian Ocean

Traversa, A Solo Walk Across Africa from the Skeleton Coast to the Indian Ocean

by Fran Sandham

  • BIOGRAPHY/MEMOIR
  • 2008
  • HARD COVER
  • 320 PAGES

Young and foolish, Rough guide editor and inveterate traveler Sandham set out from Namibia across Zambia and Tanzania to Zanzibar on a 3,000-mile trek. He writes with down-to-earth glee of the personalities, hardships, pleasures and idiocy of a solo walk (sometimes in the company of a donkey or mule) through tough terrain, interweaving his adventures with commentary on history and people.  (AFR212, $25.00)
