Afrika family

- An epic journey to save and improve lives -Driven by his passion for exploration and a sincere love of Africa, intrepid modern-day adventurer Kingsley Holgate and his family set off on an epic 64 327-kilometre journey around the circumference of the continent. Their 33-country expedition takes them over jagged mountains, through dense jungles, across raging rivers and along rutted roads into hostile terrain. En route they face not only the caprice of nature, belligerent warlords and the tedium of border-crossing routines, but they also encounter the real face of Africa: humble gratitude, modest generosity and the affable goodwill that embraces travelers here, whatever their colour or creed. But more than a thirst for adventure guides the course of this party — theirs is a grassroots struggle against a disease that claims countless lives each year. Under the banner of One Net One Life, Kingsley and his helpers distribute nearly a quarter million mosquito nets to pregnant women and mothers with small children. They also dispense spectacles to the poor-sighted and promote literacy by donating mobile libraries, colouring-in books and pens to jubilant youngsters in rural communities.Price: 480.00Edition: First editionPublished: 2009Publishers: Struik Travel & HeritageISBN: 9781770075047Condition: Softcover in near-pristine condition.

Wilbur Smith: Power of the Sword In the second half of the twentieth century, the future bears down on Africa--fueled by the sins of the past and the blood feuds of nations, tribes, and families. For the Courtney family, who have known this continent from the depths of its gold mines to the pinnacle of political power, a time of reckoning is at hand. Shasa Courtney has lived, fought and loved amongst Afrikaners, Englishmen, and natives. His mother is by his side but the rest of the world around him is exploding. Even his family harbors secrets more dangerous than his own worst enemies. Now, a continent is convulsed. Streets teem with protestors. Desperate and devious men forge volatile alliances. And Shasa faces shocking revelations amongst traitors, fugitives, and heroes--leading a beloved country into the flames of civil war… I have many books on sale, please check my listings.
