Description
First Footsteps In East Africa is a travelogue that recounts the author's experiences in the region, including his attempts to reach the city of Harar. The author describes the challenges he faced, including the hostility of the local ruler and the people, who viewed Europeans with suspicion and even hostility.
Despite the obstacles, the author persevered, driven by his curiosity and desire to explore the region. His account provides a unique insight into the culture and customs of the people he encountered, as well as the challenges of travel in a region that was largely inaccessible to outsiders.
Published in 2015, this book offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of exploration and travel in East Africa, and is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the subject.
