Für Südafrika24 hat er eine Beschreibung zur Verfügung gestellt: "Tired of the African tales of misery with which we find ourselves bombarded every day, new author Chris Harvie sets out to find the good news on an epic 28 000-kilometre journey between his home outside the Kruger National Park and the Nile in Uganda, traversing eight African countries: Botswana, Zambia, Uganda, Tanzania, Kenya, Zanzibar, Malawi and Namibia. With his tongue firmly in his cheek, he chronicles his trek through these countries, all (arguably bar one) of which share a British colonial past – looking at their post-independence histories through the sceptical yet fresh eye of one born at the time that many of them achieved independence. His personal views are supplemented by those of the locals and ex-pats, missionaries and mechanics, backpackers, oddballs and rascals he encounters along the way. Delightfully opinionated, brimming with interesting facts, questionable comment and dubious speculations, Do NOT Take This Road to El-Karama is essential reading for both armchair and actual travellers. A blend of discovery and discomfort, it breathes new life into the travelogue genre with an original take on the style and presentation of a journey, and leaves the reader enthusiastic, refreshed, and reaching for a tent and the keys to the pick-up. Das Buch kann direkt bei Kendrick Imports in UK erworben werden. Kendrick Imports bieten neben den Büchern auch das optimale Safari Equipment an wie z.B. die original Rogue Hats  CHRIS HARVIE was born in England in 1964 but has been living in South Africa since 1983, where he claims to have arrived by mistake when the Falklands War put paid to his plans to explore Argentina. After two visits to South Africa, he abandoned his roots and his studies in French and Russian to manage a small Lowveld country hotel and eventually to build his own lodge in Mpumalanga. In the winter of 2006, together with some travelling companions, he set off on the road trip which would become the subject of Do NOT Take This Road to El-Karama. The book was written in a historical Graaff-Reinet house which he bought and restored upon his return. Besides fulfilling his duties as hotelier, Harvie writes on food and travel on a freelance basis in The Sunday Times."Ich habe natürlich gleich ein Buch bestellt. Sobald ich es habe werde ich eine ausführliche Beschreibung abgeben. Dazu gesagt sei allerdings, dass das Buch derzeit nur in englisch verfügbar ist, ob es eine deutsche Übersetzung geben wird steht noch nicht fest.
