In the Heart of Africa

LibriVox · Audiobook · 23 episodes

A wonderfully readable condensation of two of Baker's earlier, longer works recounting his self-sponsored expeditions into the Dark Continent to discover the sources of the Nile: The Albert N'Yanza , Great Basin Of The Nile (1866) and The Nile Tributaries Of Abyssinia (1867) . And, of course, to bag a few elephants along the way. (Summary by Steven Seitel)
