Three years, eleven countries, 1,200 families, 14,000 kilometers of adventures while walking in the footsteps of mankind through the Cradle of Life. Alexandre and Sonia Poussin undertake to walk the length of Africa entirely on foot, from the Cape of Good Hope to the Sea of Galilee. In a three-year trek along the Great Rift Valley of East Africa, their goal is to symbolically retrace the passage of early Man, from Australopithecus to Modern Man. Without sponsors, without support team, sharing the poverty of their hosts, they speak to us on each page of the generosity and enthusiasm of these men and women who populate the African continent. Day after day, Alexandre and Sonia become a bit more African themselves. In this volume, which recounts the first seven thousand kilometers up to Mount Kilimanjaro, we are privileged to share an intimate look into the heart of Africa and her people. The adventure continues in Africa Trek II.

The Last Train to Zona Verde is Paul Theroux's compelling account of his final African journey. Heading north from Cape Town, through South Africa, Namibia, Botswana and Angola, Paul Theroux makes a final journey along Africa's western edge. The end of the line is the Congo but Theroux discovers that his trip's pleasures are tempered by a growing sense that the Africa which so long ago helped form him has vanished, along with the hopes of many of its people. Yet after 2,500 miles Theroux finds that though this will be his ultimate African adventure there are still surprises to be found by the traveller prepared to step off the beaten track. "A melancholic, farewell journey...Theroux does all this inimitably, and more, getting better the more detours he takes". (Evening Standard). "Hard to put down, brutal honesty. Theroux proves himself a sharp observer of human foibles and a master of pithy description. The book he has crafted out of his experiences packs plenty of bang". (Spectator). "As we worry about the future of the continent, there could be no better guide than Theroux ...his sense that this is his final journey adds to the power". (GQ). "Excellent, barbed reportage". (Independent). "Probably the most important travel writer of his generation". (Sunday Times). Paul Theroux's books include Dark Star Safari, Ghost Train to the Eastern Star, Riding the Iron Rooster, The Great Railway Bazaar, The Elephanta Suite, A Dead Hand, The Tao of Travel and The Lower River. The Mosquito Coast and Dr Slaughter have both been made into successful films. Paul Theroux divides his time between Cape Cod and the Hawaiian islands.

Suráfrica, un país precioso y con una extensión más del doble que España, ofrece la posibilidad de observar la más variada fauna africana en algunos de los mejores parques naturales del continente, admirar unos paisajes espectaculares o disfrutar de la vida urbana en una de las ciudades mas hermosas del planeta: Ciudad del Cabo.La comida es excelente y regada por los vinos surafricanos, que ya cuentan con un merecido prestigio en el circuito mundial, y la oferta hotelera es estupenda. Y todo ello, a precios muy moderados y notablemente inferiores a los que existen en Europa.La fascinacion que ejerce Surafrica para los viajeros reside en su doble faceta como pais bien instalado en el siglo XXI, pero aderezado con las especias de la tradicion africana: danzas zulues, animales salvajes en libertad, musica de township...Y no hay que olvidar otro de sus atractivos esenciales: sus gentes. Blancos, negros, mestizos e indios configuran aqui un mosaico etnico de lo mas agradable. Casi todo el mundo es amable en Surafrica, especialmente con el extranjero.

Y paisajes, variados paisajes, desde la gran aglomeracion urbana de Antananarivo (Tana, para abreviar), la capital del pais, a la placidez de las aldeas zafimaniry, el bullicio de Tulear (Toliara) y el mar de Nosy Be e isla Sainte Marie conforman una minima parte del atractivo de Madagascar.
