Twelve Hundred Miles in a Waggon - By Alice Blanche Balfour

The journal of one of five people of a party of intrepid but uncertain travellers, who having had two waggons custom-built to their needs, departed Mafikeng for a journey to Matabililand and Mashunaland. Her overarching memory of the expedition seems, relying on the preface, to have been not the hardships and discomfort encountered, but rather that every "one we met seemed to think no trouble to great and no inconvenience worth considering which could minister to our comfort; and we shall always retain the most grateful remembrance of the wonderful hospitality of South Africa."
