Bill Bryson's African Diary

Bill Bryson's African Diary records the travel writer's short 2002 visit to Kenya at the invitation of CARE International. Bryson travels from Nairobi to the Great Rift Valley and Mombasa, observing the country's landscapes, cultural sites, poverty, and development projects. The brief diary combines his characteristic humorous observations with reflections on colonial history, conservation, and humanitarian work. Proceeds from the book support CARE International.
