Description

Ann Jones, an acclaimed adventure writer, narrates her overland journey across Africa with British photographer Kevin Muggleton. They aim to reach the southernmost tip of the continent and find the Lovedu people, a legendary tribe known for their principles of compromise, tolerance, generosity, and peace. The journey begins in England in a 1980 powder-blue army surplus Series III Land Rover, taking them through France, Spain, and into North Africa. They face challenges in the Sahara, navigate through Senegal, Mali, Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, Togo, Benin, Nigeria, Cameroon, and Zaire, encountering various cultures and obstacles along the way. Ultimately, Ann's quest leads her to an audience with Modjadji V, Queen of the Lovedu, culminating in a captivating exploration of Africa's beauty and complexities.
