If there is a yearning for deeper knowledge and understanding of the essence of the human family, embarking on the journeys narrated in this book may be an antidote. The author’s epic journeys in Africa is narrated as a travelogue speckled with the rich social values of family, cultural practices and the endless beauty of nature in the motherland Africa. Pictorial images capture the author’s travels in the hinterland of Yorubaland from his hometown in Iseyin, Nigeria, to his ancestral home in Saabe, Benin Republic. The reader is taken along dirt roads that cut across farmlands is made to encounter nature up close, wading across the Opara River which serves as a natural border between Nigeria and Benin Republic. His narrative on meeting with distant relatives for the very first time in his life, makes for a captivating read. The opportunity to travel to Zambia in South Eastern part of Africa added another dimension to his travel narratives about the depth of family bond he felt and found among Africans in general and his Yoruba race in particular. The narratives are accompanied with very beautiful images, the book is a must read for enjoyment, relaxation and getting an exhilarating peek at the beauty of culture and nature of Africa.
