Description
In August 2017, Alasdair Campbell embarked on an extraordinary journey along the Zambezi River in Mozambique, tracing its path from source to sea. Inspired by David Livingstone's pioneering travels, he aimed to witness firsthand how the country had evolved since emerging from a brutal civil war.
Over thirty-four days, Campbell walked nearly nine hundred kilometres through diverse landscapes, including untouched wilderness, majestic mountains, and vast savannahs. Along the way, he encountered both kindness and violence, as strangers reacted with suspicion or hostility to his presence.
This personal account offers a unique perspective on Mozambique's complex history and its people's experiences during a tumultuous period. Through Campbell's journey, readers can gain insight into the country's transformation and the challenges faced by those living in its midst.
