Hired to scout for a safari up the Semliki River into the Congo to find Lowland Gorillas, guide MBUNO needs all his unique skills and experience to safeguard the travelers. Deep in the jungle, away from his normal open forests and plains of East Africa, Mbuno comes face-to-face with Hunde jungle tribal warriors, the deadly, murderous Mai-Mai.
The realities of modern heart-of-darkness Rift Valley commercial interests mixed with ethic cleansing and complicated politics thunder down on Mbuno and the safari members, themselves desperate to rescue the Lowland Gorilla as a species. Meanwhile, Amnesty International regional directors have fallen foul of the Hunde’s slave mining interests…
Can Mbuno save them all?
