Explorer, adventurer, entrepreneur, Ridgeway takes the reader on an incredible journey.
On foot for a month, from the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro, through the plains of Tsavo, to the sea, he offers a rare ground’s-eye view of east Africa as it is today, and how it once was before the incursion of European civilization.
Award-winning Rhino in the Room, and the sequel, Queen of the Rhino, are told from the perspective of seventeen-year-old fashionista, Claire. In Rhino in the Room, when Claire and her father are pulled into the crosshairs of rhino poachers, their precarious situation requires Claire and her dad to overcome their broken relationship to save themselves and the last two black rhinos from extinction.
Claire’s story continues with a non-stop rollercoaster ride of emotions surrounding the rhino poaching crisis in Africa in the sequel, Queen of the Rhino. Inspired by her safari experiences in Gamewatcher’s Porini Rhino, Mara and Lion Camps and her magical encounter with the last two northern white rhinos at Ol Pejeta Conservancy, Hedgecock transports readers to Kenya in all its beauty and intrigue.

An African classic. Matthiessen exquisitely combines nature and travel writing to bring East Africa vividly to life. He magically portrays the sights, scenes, and people he observed firsthand in several trips over the course of 12 years.
The saga of the turbulent international race for the mastery and development of an immense region of East Africa that all but visionaries thought worthless.
It is the narrative of the building of the Mombasa-Nairobi-Lake Victoria Railway itself – a colossal six-year enterprise that was to cost over $7 million and countless lives, from derailments, collisions, disease, tribal raids and the assaults of wild animals.
It is a diorama of an earlier Africa, of slave and ivory empires, of sultans and tribal monarchs and the vast lands that they ruled. Above all, it is the story of the white intruders whose combination of avarice, honour and tenacious courage made them a breed apart.
