Looking for Africa: Cape to Cairo in the 21st Century

It started as a simple plan.
Three people, six months, one Landrover Defender,
32 000 km.
This is the story of how a fun adventure turned into a wrestle with preconceptions about Africa, poverty, development, human nature.
It€s a story of two journeys, the safari and the political education - interlinked. The story of how seeing Africa opened my eyes.
