In which case I suggest you try the original, if you haven't already. 'Cape to Cairo' (Grogan) by Ewart S Grogan. Early 20thCentury. A condition for marriage by a not altogether trusting-to-be father-in-law. 'Lad' Grogan was set this task to show he had grit, determination and focus. he was to do the trip on foot, Calling in at major settlements. he was to record progress in various works including the laying of the railway from North to South on Eastern Africa. Absolutely fascination. The real thing. And yes, he did get to marry Gertrude Coleman.
