Description

Will Randall's journey to Botswana is one of chance encounters and unexpected adventures. He finds himself helping schoolchildren put on a play in India, and soon discovers that his travels have taken him to the heart of Africa.

As he teaches a class of six-year-old football enthusiasts, Will embarks on thrilling journeys to neighbouring schools, often by foot or dug-out punt, accompanied by thousands of antelope, elephant, buffalo, and zebra. The sounds of lions, leopards, and hyenas become the soundtrack of their dreams.

Against all odds, they prepare for the Grand Final of the season, facing off against arch-rivals Victoria Falls Primary school. This heartwarming story is both a personal account and a travelogue about a little-known but highly successful country, Botswana.
