A Trek down the Nile (in 1983) - William Keeling
William pays homage to the late Geoff Crowther (1944-2021), author of the travel guide ‘Africa on a Shoestring’, by recalling his own teenage holiday to war torn Sudan and Uganda in 1983. The 18 year-old William travelled from Cairo in Egypt to Khartoum in Sudan, before trekking from Nairobi in Kenya to visit the Kabalega Falls on The Nile in Uganda, and the Gorillas in the Virunga Mountains of Rwanda.
William Keeling was foreign correspondent for the Financial Times and exposed a multi-billion dollar corruption scandal in Nigeria in 1992. Having tired of reality, he turned to fiction. He is the author of The Gay Street Chronicles, a series of satirical novels of which the first - Belle Nash & the Bath Soufflé - is to be published in October, 2021.
