ROUGH ROAD INTO THE DEEP UNKNOWN

Adventures of Discovery and Survival in Africa

More than a story. This is a unique visual journey into the heart of Africa, with over 100 full-colour photographs and maps, beautifully printed for an immersive experience in the discovery of life new to science.

What drives someone to chase vanishing fish through some of the most remote places on Earth?

The author takes readers across unforgettable expeditions into the wild heart of Africa: through the wetlands of the Congo, the arid landscapes of Sudan, the floodplains of Zambia, and the highlands of Uganda.

Driven by the pursuit of uncovering mysterious seasonal fishes, he ventures into the most distant regions of the continent, facing treacherous roads, unexpected dangers, and encounters with remarkable people. But this book is about more than scientific discoveries. It is about the thrill of the unknown, the resilience needed to endure the wilderness, and the untamed beauty of Africa’s last frontiers.

For those who seek adventure and mystery, these are stories of exploration from far beyond the beaten track. A journey you won’t forget.
