Including colour photographs of mountains, some of which have not been photographed before, this book describes the mountains of East and Central Africa - their Afro-alpine flora, varied terrain, the wildlife and the ancient tribes that inhabit them. Included are the "Mountains of the Moon", once thought the source of the Nile; Mount Elgon, whose mineral-salt caves form a subterranean salt-lick; Mount Kenya, attracting mountaineers from all over the world; the Aberdares, home to the notorious "Happy Valley" British aristocrats; and Kilimanjaro, symbol of Africa itself. Clive Ward is publisher and photographer of the climbing journal "Krantz" and "Great Outdoors" magazine. Iain Allan manages a Nairobi-based touring company.
