In search of some direction, or at least a new challenge, Jeffrey Tayler gave up his day job and went exploring. Having always been fascinated by Africa and the Victorian age of exploration, he travelled to Africa, found a boat to take him to the heart of the Congo jungle, and paddled his way back.
"At thirty-three one's direction in life should be clear, and mine was not". In search of some direction, or at least a new challenge, Jeffrey Tayler gave up his day job of opening rejection letters from publishers and went exploring. Having always been fascinated by Africa and the great age of Victorian exploration he went to Kinshasa in Zaire (now the Democratic Republic of Congo) and found a boat to take him up-river to Kisangani, deep in the heart of the jungle. Not content with that, he then bought a pirogue (a kind of canoe), hired a guide and set out to paddle the 1000 miles back to Kinshasa. This account of his intrepid voyage also reveals Tayler's own personal journey.
