| |
Prompted by one of our readers, we asked you to recommend books on
Africa which should be stocked by local libraries everywhere. Thank you
to Alan Jeffreys for the following suggestions (by email).
Sand River by Peter Matthiessen
Full of back-to-basics Africa and the sights, sounds, smells and hardships of a foot safari into the depths of the southern Selous.
The Shadow of Kilimanjaro by Rick Ridgeway
Rick and a few African friends journey from the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro to the Indian Ocean, interviewing those who moulded and shaped the Tsavo National Parks as we know them today.
White Tribe Dreaming by Marq de Villiers
The best book I have read on the history of South Africa.
The Scramble for Africa by Thomas Pakenham
Simply a classic.
