Read a sample Read a sample

Fans of the History Channel and all those who enjoy a ripping good yarn will relish another series of epic adventures by the Holgate family. Kingsley, his wife, Gill, and their son, Ross, honour the early explorers who faced starvation, fever and even death to open up Africa to the Western world. Armed with the fortitude, fearlessness and tenacity of David Livingstone, HM Stanley, Frederick Courtney Selous, John Hanning Speke and others, the Holgate party tackles Africa's mighty rivers and circumnavigates the great lakes. On foot, by Land Rover and in small inflatable boats, they encounter aggressive AK-47-wielding Congolese youths, seven-foot Warimi tribesmen and fierce Turkana warriors decorated with sharp-honed blades on fingers and wrists. These are marvellous stories of courage and endurance, placing Holgate firmly in the category of modern-day adventurer in its purest sense.Kingsley Holgate, a self-described 'romantic adventurer', is inspired by the African explorers of old. With his family he has undertaken a number of epic trips across the African continent in the past decade. Despite his love of travel and adventure, Kingsley's roots are planted firmly in ?Zululand.
