Lake Regions of Central Africa From Zanzibar to Lake Tanganyika

Sir Richard Burton was a brilliant and complex explorer, linguist, adventurer, scholar and swordsman. Lake Regions of Central Africa is the narrative of three years' hard travel from Zanzibar to Lake Tanganyika to try and discover the source of the Nile. The journey was often fraught with danger; Burton was told before he set out that natives would be waiting in the trees to shoot them with poisoned arrows, and that armies of elephants would attack their camps at night.Burton, Richard F. is the author of 'Lake Regions of Central Africa From Zanzibar to Lake Tanganyika' with ISBN 9781589760646 and ISBN 1589760646.
