THE AFRICA BOOK Africa: a continent of exhilarating adventure, fascinating cultures and extraordinary wildlife and landscapes, where just one experience will never quite articulate the magic of the place. Herds of wild animals crossing acacia-dotted plains, remote cultures that time seems to have forgotten, the monumental vestiges of crumbled empires, as well as the dire realities of war, disease and famine - Africa is all this and much more. From Cape Town's gleaming shopping arcades to the remote tribal settlements on Lake Turkana's shores, The Africa Book draws together a definitive collection of the sights, sounds andtastes of this spellbinding continent. Here's how to start - open at any page and begin your own journey. Float down the Nile in a felucca, visit the mountain gorillas of Rwanda,catch mbalax fever on Dakar's glittering dance floors, relax under the palms on Zanzibar's powdery white beaches. Let Lonely Planet's photographers, authors and travellers lead you through five regions,54 countries and inspire you to embark on the journey of your life.
