Lost Kingdoms of Africa – through Muslim Africa by Truck, Bus, Boat and Camel by Jeffrey Tayler – first published 2005
This book was a great find, as it covers Chad, Niger, Nigeria and Senegal. Books set in all the countries except Nigeria were hard to come by. This was my first non-fiction book of my journey. The author is an American who travelled overland from Chad to Senegal talking to local people on his way. His descriptions of the poverty, hopelessness and harsh climate won’t make you want to go there on holiday. 4/10
