Traversa

Fran Sandham’™s “Traversa” is a part travelogue, part history and entirely awe-inspiring account of one man’™s grit, determination and sheer obsession with the continent of Africa.Walking 3,000 miles across Africa, from the Skeleton Coast to the Indian Ocean, Sandham was inspired by the great explorers, leaving behind the daily grind of London to undertake an extraordinary adventure and see for himself whether any trace of the Africa of Victorian times exists in the Africa of today.Along the way he befriends a donkey called ‘˜Where You Get Stuck’™; risks muggings and potentially much worse whilst sleeping beneath a vast canopy of Africa stars; encounters all manner of creatures from scorpions and snakes to tsetse flies and voracious mosquitoes. Interwoven with his experiences are tales of battles and conquests, cannibalism and madness from the original expeditions of Livingstone, Stanley and Grogan.
