The book recounts the author's extensive expedition into Central Africa, detailing not only the landscapes he encounters but also the cultures and people he meets along the way. Taylor's intention is to provide readers with an authentic account of his travel experiences and the lively life in these regions, rather than a mere adventure story filled with embellishments. At the start of the narrative, Taylor arrives in Alexandria, Egypt, where he describes his initial encounters and observations of the city. He captures the excitement and novelty of visiting a new continent, reflecting on his interactions with locals, the bustling environment, and his experiences at an Oriental bath. As he prepares for his journey up the Nile toward the interior of Africa, Taylor emphasizes the charm of the rich cultural tapestry and the natural beauty surrounding him. He introduces notable figures, such as his dragoman Achmet, and hints at the challenges and adventures that await him as he sets off on a path less trodden.
