Description - Bill Bryson's African Diary by Bill Bryson
Bryson travels to Kenya in support of CARE International and brings his inimitable humorous and humane view to Africa.
Bill Bryson goes to Kenya at the invitation of CARE International, the charity dedicated to working with local communities to eradicate poverty around the world. Kenya, generally regarded as the cradle of humankind, is a land of stunning landscapes, famous game reserves, and a vibrant culture, but it also has many serious problems, including refugees, AIDS, drought and grinding poverty. It also provides plenty to worry a nervous traveller like Bill Bryson- hair-raising rides in light aircraft, tropical diseases, snakes, insects and large predators.
Bryson casts his inimitable eye on a continent new to him, and the resultant diary, though short in length, contains all his trademark laugh-out-loud wit, wry observation and curious insight.
All the author's royalties from this book, as well as all profits, will go to CARE International.
