AFRICA TREK (14000 kilometers in the footsteps of man by Sonia & Alexandre POUSSIN - Éditions France Loisirs (123 boulevard de Grenelle, Paris) - 2004 - 437 pages - Color illustrations, maps, and photographs - Softcover. From the Cape of Good Hope to the Sea of Galilee in Israel, a three-year walk for Sonia and Alexandre Poussin. Sonia and Alexandre Poussin left the Cape of Good Hope on January 1, 2001. On foot. Destination: Jerusalem. Since then, the intrepid couple has traveled fourteen thousand kilometers, retracing the African continent in one stride, symbolically retracing the first journey of the first man, from the australopithecine to modern man, along the Rift Valley. Without support, without assistance, sleeping under the stars or with locals, they have taken on this unique challenge and accomplished a real feat. Their ambition? To take the time and pulse of the continent, and meet the men, women, and children of Africa. An adventure doomed to failure without the kindness and generosity of the Africans, 'our everyday saviors', who, often in the most terrible misery, have taken them in along the tracks. This first volume retraces their exciting journey, from the Cape to Kilimanjaro.
