At the start of the account, the author expresses his fascination with the allure of Africa, detailing his preparations for the journey, which include securing leaves, organizing supplies, and selecting a servant proficient in necessary languages. He embarks on his journey in January, traveling by train towards the Sierra Leone Railway’s terminus while encountering the bustling life in Freetown. The text paints vivid imagery of both the landscape and the locals, as well as the practical challenges of travel in the bush, including negotiating with porters and dealing with the local tribes.
