In 'Bill Bryson's African Diary', Bill Bryson travels to Kenya at the invitation of CARE International, a charity dedicated to working with local communities to eradicate poverty. Kenya, considered the cradle of mankind, is a land of contrasts, with famous game reserves, stunning landscapes, and a vibrant cultural tradition. However, it also presents serious human and environmental problems, such as refugees, AIDS, drought, and extreme poverty. Throughout his journey across the country, Bryson observes this continent with his characteristic wit and insight, capturing his reflections in a brief but insightful diary. All author's royalties and profits from the book are donated to CARE International.
