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 fret a traveller like Bill Bryson, fixated as he’s at the dangers posed by snakes, insects and large predators. It is usually a country with many serious problems: refugees, AIDS, drought, and grinding poverty. The resultant diary, although short in length, comprises the trademark Bryson stamp of wry remark and curious insight.
