A thoughtful stay in the not-so-Democratic Republic of Congo

  • 08/01/2019
  • Ben Cooke
The DRC is a strikingly mis-named country, finds Ben Cooke. It's undemocratic, for a start, and a republic only in name. He starts in Lubumbashi, heads into the hinterlands of small-town Kipushi and then braves the capital, Kinshasa. He finds the Congo's reputation for being dangerous has been superseded by its capacity to relentlessly hassle any visitor - especially if carrying a camera - and he finds the unremitting focus on a lone white traveller forces his mind into solitary reflection.

The man with bullets in his socks

  • 17/06/2010
  • Tom Coote
When his hotel's plumbing problems force Tom Coote onto the backstreets of Mombasa he's beset by hustlers and hookers. Forget the standard safari in a pop-top matatu: this is where he meets Kenya's alpha predators.
