A journey into the unknown

J.R.Euen - In J.R.Euen's account of life in 1960's upcountry Kenya and Tanzania the readers find themselves in a world that no longer exists. East African Railways and Harbours had a network of rails and ferries that covered the three East African territories, Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda. The three territories are evolving on independence from Great Britain, but it is a transitional period, and a way of life which will be changed for ever was coming to an end. Rory McTavish and his family are stationed in Mombasa, Kenya, where East African Railways and Harbours manage the ports of Mombasa and Lamu in Kenya and Dar-es-Salaam and Mtwara in Tanzania.
