The Great Rift Valley: Being The Narrative Of A Journey To Mount Kenya And Lake Baringo (1896) is a travelogue written by John Walter Gregory. The book is a detailed account of his journey through the Great Rift Valley in Kenya, where he explored the region's natural wonders and met the local tribes. Gregory's journey starts from Mombasa and takes him through the Tsavo National Park, where he encounters various wild animals such as lions and elephants. He then proceeds to Mount Kenya, where he describes the mountain's beauty and the challenges of climbing it. The book also covers his exploration of Lake Baringo, where he studies the local flora and fauna and interacts with the local tribes. Throughout the book, Gregory provides vivid descriptions of the landscape, wildlife, and people he encounters, making it an engaging read for anyone interested in African travel and exploration.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
