Verleger: "Nikki Grosse's trek in
Central Africa takes her through the dramatic and remote landscapes of Uganda and Eastern Congo (formerly
Zaire). Nikki's route begins in South West Uganda in the Switzerland of Africa, where she travels on the
back of a truck to Bwindi National Park, also known as the Impenetrable Forest. Bwindi is one of the last
remaining habitats of mountain gorillas in the world, and the current gorilla population is estimated at
320. With the help of guides and slashers who cut at the dense undergrowth with machetes, Nikki tracks a
gorilla family for hours through difficult terrain and is finally rewarded when she finds herself only
metres from a Silverback. Nikki travels north through the wildlife haven Queen Elizabeth National Park, en
route to the small town of Kasese. Kasese is situated at the base of the Rwenzori Mountains and is the last
place where trekkers can buy provisions before setting off into the mountains. Nikki buys a pair of wellies
for the infamous Bigo Bog and organises a team of Ugandan guides and porters to accompany her on the trek.
The Rwenzori Mountains are also known as The Mountains of the Moon because of the glaciers at the summit
which can be glimpsed through a veil of cloud. They are a true African wilderness and Nikki treks through
impossible undergrowth, along slippery paths, through knee deep bogs and thick mud, under towering giant
heather forests and over snow covered peaks and glaciers, ending her journey a few hundred metres of
Margherita Peak, the third highest in Africa. For the final part of Nikki's journey she crosses the border
into the Congo and travels to Beni, where she is diagnosed with Malaria. After a course of medical treatment
and a few unplanned rest days, she heads off into the Ituri forest in Eastern Congo. She travels in a truck
along some of the worst roads in Africa; the recent rains have turned it into mud-filled potholes. Leaving
the vehicle and setting off on foot Nikki eventually reaches a Mbuti Pygmy community. The pygmies are the
indigenous people of the Ituri forest, which provides them with nearly everything they need. Here Nikki
helps the children collect caterpillars and crabs for the evening meal, has ticks removed from her hair and
on her final night is invited to listen to their traditional music."
