Travels in the Interior Districts of Africa Summary
|
' Travels in the Interior Districts of Africa |
|
|
| Travels in the Interior Districts of Africa is Mungo Park's account of his first expedition to discover the River Niger and the fabled city of Timbuctoo. Travelling with only native guides, or for the latter part of his journey alone, Park endured tremendous hardships: he was repeatedly robbed, spent several months imprisoned by a Moorish king, and came close to dying of starvation and thirst. He eventually reached the River Niger, and travelled along part of it's course, before returning to the coast. His account of his journey gives a unique insight into conditions in West Africa before widespread European settlement, and has long been considered a classic work on African travel. |
