The story of five men, inspired by the exploits of Stanley and Livingstone, who braved great dangers to reveal the secrets of Kenya. Combines extracts from the explorers' diaries, contemporary line engravings and lavish colour photographs to produce a remarkable glimpse of a world that has now all but disappeared. Foreword by Wilfred Thesiger.
