DEAD MEN DONT LEAVE TIPS

What does it take to follow your dream? Quite a bit, if your dream involves crossing Africa. Thats what one couple discovers when they set off on a seven-month overland journey from London to Cape Town. As dedicated independent travelers, theyd already traveled around the world. But was a trans-African odyssey too much for even them? Who do you cadeau? How do you create tantalizing dishes from grubs? Or avoid having a spear tossed through your camera? With trepidation, they join an English do-it-yourself overland safari. Flung into the midst of twenty odd companions, theyre shocked to discover that many of them have never even camped before. And the guides know Africa as well as the dark side of the moon. After their dream turns into a nightmare, they eventually set off across Africa-alone. DEAD MEN DONT LEAVE TIPS is a captivating tale filled with a passion for travel, spontaneity and unbridled adventure. It is often funny, sometimes anguished, yet always real. Nothing is held back or glossed-over. Wilson takes you onto the crazed roads of Africa, through the everyday ups and downs, and into the lives and hearts of its people. He shows us once again that the real joy of travel is the thrill of getting there.
