Afrika Dispatches From The Outside Edge

Product Description

Driven by his passion for exploration & a deep love of Africa, intrepid adventurer Kingsley Holgate sets off yet again with his loyal team on a quest to circumnavigate the outside edge of Africa in an epic 64 327-kilometre, 449-day odyssey. The expedition takes them over mountains, through jungles & across both rivers & deserts, with many a narrow escape & close call. Quick thinking, a wealth of experience & excellent teamwork are all that prevent the vehicles from being overturned whilst grappling with a monster dune, swallowed by a rising tide or swept away by a relentless current. Not only do they embark upon an immense geographical challenge but also tackle malaria in a humanitarian struggle against this killer disease. Their One Net One Life campaign sees the expedition deliver mosquito nets to expecting mothers & mothers with children under five. They also distribute spectacles to the poor & promote literacy by donating mobile libraries in rural areas. Armed with a Zulu calabash filled with Cape-of-Good-Hope seawater & a Scroll of Peace & Goodwill, the team fight, cajole & plead their way across borders & through roadblocks in an inexorable battle with Africaandrsquo;s red tape. Find a comfortable armchair & share this fantastic journey with Kingsley & his team, feeling humbled & inspired by the efforts of one family to save & improve lives in their beloved Africa.andnbsp;
