Africa Trek: A Journey By Bicycle Through Africa

This is Dan Buettner's (a Minnesota native) account of his multiethnic team's trek by bicycle across Africa in 1992-1993. The team included three Americans and two Africans (each serving as guide and translator for part of the trip), and the trip took over 200 days and covered over 11,000 miles. Excellent photography and maps help the reader feel a part of the trip. The book was a finalist for the Minnesota Book Award in 1998.
