Book excerpt: Hilary’s desire to explore South Africa and experience African culture, while helping to improve the lives of children, was inspired at school in England by a sermon given by visiting missionary, Father Trevor Huddleston. Her dream was realized shortly after her physiotherapy graduation in 1966. After learning of her colleague Penny’s own desire to see Africa, the two eager young women made plans for a year-long trip around South Africa, commencing November 1967. Staying with friends and family while working in various hospitals, they travelled round South Africa in Penny’s Mini. What could possibly go wrong? They hiked the Drakensberg, visited Zululand, viewed wildlife in Kruger National Park, and spent time with local families who taught them about African culture and traditions. Despite all the beauty South Africa had to offer, there were underlying tensions everywhere due to Apartheid. Hilary’s travel memoir not only recounts her exciting adventures, but also explores the political landscape of the time and the effects Apartheid had on the African people. Her book is a testament to the importance of expanding your horizons and grasping every opportunity that comes your way.
