Dark Star Safari
2002 travek book by Paul Theroux
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dark Star Safari (2002) is a written account of a trip taken by American author Paul Theroux from Cairo, Egypt, to Cape Town, South Africa, via trains, buses, cars, and armed convoy.[2] Theroux had lived in Africa as a young and idealistic early member of the Peace Corps[3] and part of the reason for this trip was to assess the impact on Africa of the many years of aid from Western countries. His assessment is generally critical of the long-term impact of aid programs.
