Phakamani Mvelashe Reviews Almost Sleeping My Way to Timbuktu by Sihle Khumalo

by Helené on Nov 15th, 2013

Verdict: carrot

Image exploring a region where you don’t speak the language, the challenges you would face and everything that can go wrong. This book chronicles the author’s decision to explore Francophone Africa – visiting Senegal, Mali, Burkina Faso, Benin or Togo that are hosts to five World Heritage Sites listed by UNESCO for their historical and cultural significance. But as life would have it, not everything goes according to plan.
