Bill Bryson African Diary

　　“Here is a man who suffers so his readers can laugh.” — Daily Telegraph
　　Bill Bryson travels to Kenya in support of CARE International. All royalties and profits go to CARE International.

　　Bryson visits Kenya at the invitation of CARE International, the charity dedicated to eradicating poverty. Kenya is a land of contrasts, with famous game reserves and a vibrant culture. It also provides plenty to worry a traveler like Bill Bryson, fixated as he is on the dangers posed by snakes, insects and large predators. It is also a country with many serious problems: refugees, AIDS, drought, and grinding poverty. The resultant diary, though short in length, contains the trademark Bryson stamp of wry observation and curious insight.
