This book takes you along on some of his most amazing journeys: Traveling from the Cape of Good Hope to Cairo on a motorcycleRetracing the steps of the Victorian explorers seeking the source of the storied NileSearching for the lost city of the KalahariTracking the mysterious and enigmatic giant ape, Ufiti, to determine if the creature really existedSailing the treacherous waters of the Indian Ocean in Colin ArcherTrekking in Basutoland (now Lesotho)Racing against time (and historic floods) to save the lives of his wife and two workers who had contracted "the Fever" in the remote Okavango Delta Mike Hoare was fortunate to arrive in Africa at a time when grand adventures (and misadventures) were still possible. As he recounts his forty-plus years in Africa, Hoare shares with the reader his deep reverence for the land and the people who call it home, as well as little-known tidbits of history.
