A personal memoir about life along the upper Zambezi River in the region of Barotseland. The book recounts the author’s childhood experiences growing up among the Lozi people, describing the culture, traditions and daily life shaped by a great river. Through his stories, the author reflects on the natural beauty of the Zambezi, which has such a profoundly interesting geographical history, while being startlingly beautiful – a compelling connection between the river and the life of the author. Some of the topics include: flood season, danger of hippos and crocodiles, malaria and other infections, abundant wild and bird life, glorious food, ritual and royal burial sites, digging of canals, Barotse forests and the Chobe National Park – and much much more. Full colour photographs throughout. Very good condition. Softcover, 20.6cm x 14.7 cm, 139 pages. R360 excl ride.
