Sporting tennis shoes, a man from England, who in the early 1960s travels to Africa hires some camels, gets out a Swahili phrase book and with some local companions he picks up along the way, who then make a 1,000 mile epic expedition (he collect biological specimens along the way) into a bleak and inhospitable part of northern Kenya's desert region to seek out the shores of the isolated 'Jade Sea'. He was an unlikely traveler in a virtually unknown region. From the back of the book: Tired of city life and ashamed at his toleration of boredom, John Hillaby decided to go on a three-month safari in the Northern Frontier District of Kenya. With five natives, six camels, 1400 pounds of baggage, twelve pairs of gym shoes, a shot.gun, a Swahili phrase book and a floppy hat, he traveled from Wamba to Lake Rudolf and back.
