ULENDO: WALKING WHERE VULTURES FLY

by Iain Macdonald

An absorbing memoir that spans decades, Ulendo is also a historical record of walking safaris in Zambia, and Tanzania. After working with the legendary Norman Carr, who instigated walking safaris in the South Luangwa Valley, Zambia, Macdonald moved up to the North Luangwa to build his own camp. Photographs show how lodges were built when you relied on porters, reeds and thatch, and loos that looked out onto the wilderness.
