"African
Journeys - Don Pinnock" (Mar) |
In
this collection of essays from Getaway magazine Don Pinnock
takes us on a series of journeys across the African continent,
following first of all in the footsteps of David Livingstone.
His zest for travel carries him on north: to the old Stone Town
of Zanzibar; to the astounding valleys and the rock-carved churches
of Ethiopia; and on to the glories of the pyramids in Egypt.
Back home in South Africa, he takes us hiking over the mountains,
motorcycling along the 29th parallel, and pedalling through the
Knysna forest.
His descriptions of his travels reveal a sharp
eye for detail; a fascinating knowledge of the history of the
places he visits; and above all a deep love of the plants, the
animals, the magnificent landscape, and the people.....
