About the book
A dry, cinematic memoir of East and Southern Africa in the 90s. Equal parts potholes, border posts and improbable luck.
“Funny, vivid, and just the right amount of reckless.”
The promised romance of East Africa collides with reality in an epic year long misadventure that leaves Ngorongoro Crater shaking its head. Armed with a backpack, far too much camera gear and a questionable sense of direction, one Aussie stumbles 22,000 kilometres across sub Saharan Africa. What could possibly go wrong?
Forget the glossy brochures. This is 90s East Africa with the volume turned up, dust, potholes, border posts and the occasional epiphany.
The result is part travelogue, part survival guide, part comedy sketch.
Strap in and buckle up, and learn How to Dodge Potholes.
