Verdict: carrot
Two enjoyable and awe-inspiring reads from epic adventurers Kingsley Holgate and Alexandre and Sonia Poussin.
Africa has inspired thousands of travellers to explore its length and breadth and to write in gobsmacking prose, accounts of terror or terrible patriarchal views of people on the continent. But some of the books are gems, telling of Damascus-like experiences. At the same time they do not gloss over the poverty and suffering still occurring in Africa, but find the warmth, humour and human spirit of the people, which are too often buried beneath the mountain of pessimistic reports.
