Stalking the Wild Dik-Dik: One Woman's Solo Misadventures Across Africa

by Marie Javins

Stalking the Wild Dik-Dik: One Woman's Solo Misadventures Across Africa Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

"Stalking the Wild Dik-Dik" is a spirited African adventure of a solo woman traveler whose overland excursion across the continent includes challenges, inevitable mishaps, and more than a few debacles. <BR>Author and world traveler Marie Javins is an unflappable narrator, who takes even the most bizarre and patience-trying situations with a dose of good humor. Javins fell in love with Africa when she traversed the continent in 2001 as part of a larger world tour. She later returned to spend half of 2005 revisiting the people and places that had so impacted her on her first trip. Javins was struck not by the desperation of Africa, but by its hope — the dignity of its people, the vibrancy of its cities, and the inherent adventure that is inherent it offered. <BR>"Stalking the Wild Dik-Dik" is a funny and compassionate account of the sort of lively and heedless undertaking that could only happen in Africa. Javins's brushes with wildlife are punctuated with more serious dilemmas. Through it all, Javins's experience of Africa is life-altering, and her witty observations make for the best kind of travel literature which takes its readers into the heart and soul of the continent. <BR>
