An Affair with Africa

In An Affair with Africa, Alzada Kistner recounts her family's remarkable three-decade journey through Africa, beginning with a scientific expedition to the Belgian Congo in 1960 that was interrupted by violent revolution. Despite life-threatening challenges, the Kistners continued their extensive fieldwork across southern Africa, sharing vivid and humorous insights into their experiences, from examining insects with her pregnant belly to dining next to notable political figures. The audiobook offers a compelling look at the human side of adventurous scientific exploration in Africa.
