Tracey and Ewald study the route |
Mwanza is where Mary Heath was delayed (she had made good progress until this point) and decided to go on a hunting expedition with an Italian group she befriended. On one day, she claimed to have walked 22 miles.
In later years, she sported a long leopardskin coat. "I shot it in Africa, my dear!" she would reply (between puffs of Turkish cigarette smoke) if anyone was brave enough to ask its origins.
Tracey has no plans to raise a gun to any living creature on this trip.
