Reseña del editor:

In 1907, Churchill, aged 33 and in his first ministerial post as Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies, undertook a tour of East Africa a tour that combined big-game hunting with official engagements. This book, originally published in 1908, recounts his journey through lands only just beginning to feel the impact of the West. No index. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.. NOTA: El libro no está en español, sino en inglés.

Reseña del editor:

In so far as the collection of information is concerned, the advantages of travel may often be over-stated. So much has been written, so many facts are upon record about every country, even the most remote, that a judicious and persevering study of existing materials would no doubt enable a reader to fill himself with knowledge almost to repletion without leaving his chair. But for the formation of opinion, for the stirring and enlivenment of thought, and for the discernment of colour and proportion, the gifts of travel, especially of travel on foot, are priceless. It was with the design and in the hope of securing such prizes, that I undertook last year the pilgrimage of which these pages give account.
