Where else but Africa, can you touch mountain snow one day and run from a lion, another?

Robbed of all his possessions, riddled with flu and wearing borrowed pink tracksuit bottoms, the Kilimanjaro climb was doomed to fail. Alistair was determined to raise money for charity and somehow made it to the crater rim before being escorted off the mountaintop. Years later, he returned to Africa, this time with his wife. They planned to relax in Zanzibar, before boarding an overland truck. Within weeks they’d walk with lions, search on foot for rhino’s, raft the Zambezi and explore the Okavango Delta. But first, there was a mountain called Kilimanjaro, waiting to be climbed again.

If you’ve ever wondered what it is like to explore the Serengeti, touch the snows of Kilimanjaro, join an overland safari or visit the prison that once held Nelson Mandela, this is the book for you.
