[ahlam1399]

"Dark Star Safari" by Paul Theroux is the story of the author's overland travel from Cairo to Cape Town with all the adventures, people and places he encounters throughout the continent. Theroux travelled Africa from north to south in the first half of 2001. Beginning in Cairo, he travelled down the Nile in Egypt, through Sudan, Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Zambia, Malawi, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, South Africa and Swaziland. He travelled mostly by public transport including trains, boats, bush taxi, buses, cattle truck, rented Land Rover, canoe and hitch-hiking. "Dark Star Safari" is an interesting account of Theroux's travels, especially as he travels in Africa by means not dared by most. Throughout the book, Theroux's style remains witty and entertaining.
