Two Rivers: Travels in West Africa on the trail of Mungo Park by Peter Hudson (Used)

An account of a journey through West Africa in the footsteps of one of Britain's greatest explorers, Mungo Park. In 1795, Park set off into what was then a strange and terrible land, rumoured to hold fabulous riches and the headwaters of the Niger. Peter Hudson's journey took him to Mali, with which he fell in love and which is only now coming to terms with the modern world. The author's first book "A Leaf in the Wind", was shortlisted for the 1988 Thomas Cook Award. He also wrote "Travels in Mauritania".
