From an extract of an interview - "My fascination with Africa started in 1963, when I was an adventurous 18-year-old travelling up the Nile from Cairo to Lake Victoria – sometimes on the river itself, sometimes hitching overland in cars and lorries as close to the river as I could manage. But my journey also took me all the way down through Africa to Lake Malawi, the Zambezi and eventually to South Africa.".
