Peter Hudson (born 1954) has written several insightful and well received travel books based upon his extensive journeys.


In this book, Hudson retraces the dangerous journeys of Mungo Park (1771 – 1806) a Scottish explorer of West Africa. After an exploration of the upper Niger River around 1796, he wrote an influential travel book titled Travels in the Interior Districts of Africa in which he theorized the Niger and Congo merged to become the same river. He was killed during a second expedition. In fact, they are two rivers.
