It is a journey of discovery and of rediscovery -- of the unknown and the unexpected, but also of people and places he knew as a young and optimistic teacher forty years before.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSafari in Swahili simply means 'journey', and this is the ultimate safari.  It is Theroux in his element -- a trip where chance encounter is everything, where departure and arrival times are an irrelevance, and where contentment can be found balancing on the top of a truck in the middle of nowhere.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePraise for Paul Theroux:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Theroux's work remains the standard by which other travel writing must be judged'  \u003ci\u003eObserver\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'One needs energy to keep up with the extraordinary, productive restlessness of Paul Theroux ...
