Product description
If you are a seller for this product, would you like to suggest updates through seller support? What would you do if elephants tore breakfast branches from above your swinging hammock?

Jamie, a colourfully blended character and possibly a careless adventurer, intertwines the tale of his Zambezi River descent with often hilarious and sometimes scary bush tales from all over Africa.

Distance bears no relation to the time they take and mid trip, the back weary paddlers take a fortuitous river break, in which they deal with a ruptured appendix, the ear notching and chip tagging of a wild population of rhino, and the escape of two of these prehistoric beasts.
