LIVINGSTONE AND HIS LOVE FOR AFRICA

Here is how one of his experiences was described:
"Tales were told as later coffee was sipped and the red embers of the fire glowed in retreat from night air. As the travellers spoke and later slept, their weary bodies were lulled by Africa's choruses. Crickets quietly chirped continuously to one another, while an owl would let out a cosy 'coo oo' in call to a mate. Occasionally large animals such as the hyena and jackal would call out defiantly into the night as the thousands of twinkling stars awaited the moonrise."
