Harry Johnston set out to climb the snows of equatorial Africa. His Kilimanjaro expedition carries you from Mombasa through Taita to the mountain, into Mandara's court, and up toward the glaciers on the equator. Adventure, natural history, and the peoples of East Africa braided together. A vivid Victorian journey to Africa's highest peak. March inland toward the snow above the plains.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
