Return to the Land of Rains: Adventures of Discovering New Life in Africa

A richly illustrated series of expeditions, featuring over 100 full colour photographs and maps, printed in premium quality to create an immersive reading experience centred on the discovery of fish species new to science.Chasing mysterious discoveries means following the rains, where life appears for a fleeting moment before vanishing without a trace.In this compelling sequel to Rough Road into the Deep Unknown, the author travels through the parched dust of Kenya, the forgotten wetlands of Chad, the shifting seasons around Lake Victoria, and the myth-laden landscapes of Congo. From highland gorillas in Uganda to elusive seasonal fishes in the wilderness of Tanzania, from desert storms to rain-drenched forests, he blurs the line between science and adventure.Whether navigating predator-infested marshes, witnessing a birth on open savannah, or fulfilling a promise made to his son, each chapter tells a story of survival and wonder. They reveal Africa’s hidden worlds and the courage it takes to reach them.For those drawn to wild places, this is exploration at its most elemental, where existence hangs in the balance between drought and flood, instinct and awe.
