A Gripping Travel Narrative of Central African Swamps, Local Lore, and Jungle Survival

British travel writer Redmond O'Hanlon and American animal trainer Lorry Pleier journey into the dense swamp-forests of the northern Republic of the Congo. Their destination is Lake Tele, a remote body of water shrouded in local legends regarding Mokèlé-mbèmbé, a rumored prehistoric swamp creature.

Accompanied by Congolese guides and scientists, O'Hanlon documents the brutal physical demands of navigating the Likouala swamps. His narrative captures encounters with forest elephants, venomous snakes, tropical fevers, local sorcery beliefs, and the ecological reality of Central Africa's rainforests.

Why You’ll Love This Book

Redmond O'Hanlon combines biological observation with self-deprecating humor and candid expedition journalism. Essential reading for fans of extreme travelogues, Central African natural history, and expedition writing.
