Abstract

Originally published in 1908, this book describes the story of Churchill's trip to East Africa in 1907 when he was Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies, accompanied by his Private Secretary, Eddie Marsh, and an uncle by marriage, Colonel Gordon Wilson. The party sailed from Malta in the cruiser Venus and arrived at Mombasa on 28th October. From there they travelled to Nairobi, Kisumu, Entebbe and then down the Nile to Lado, Kodok, Khartoum and finally back to Cairo and Alexandria. The journey was a combination of work and pleasure, big game hunting and sight-seeing alternating with official engagements.
