Faruk Budak describes his famous ‘Cape to Cairo’ journey New book chronicles Turkish backpacker’s adventures in Africa and Middle East ISTANBUL, Turkey – Faruk Budak is the first Turkish backpacker to complete the famous “Cape to Cairo” journey all by himself. In his new book, “AFRICA CAFE” (published by AuthorHouse UK), he looks back to his fascinating adventures. This travelogue, a follow-up to “Nine Gates of Asia,” is a glimpse into the life, culture and tradition of Africa and the Middle East and how these transformed the author. “AFRICA CAFE” chronicles Budak’s eight month trip. It is a firsthand account of his many incredible experiences including seeing many magnificent UNESCO World Heritage sites and structures, going on safaris on the plains of Masai Mara and Serengeti National Park and walking through the mysterious streets of Lamu. Budak, the evocative and compelling narrator, guides readers alongside his journey from Cape Town in South Africa to Egypt in the Middle East. He also shares how he experienced the Dark Continent’s dark poverty along with its generosity, beauty, and enchantment. He experienced the absurdity of borders on a continent where beauty and ugliness, good and bad coexist. “AFRICA CAFE” is both a physical adventure through Africa and the Middle East and a transformative odyssey of the soul and spirit. “AFRICA CAFE” By Faruk Budak Hardcover | 6 x 9in | 342 pages | ISBN 9781496978769 Softcover | 6 x 9in | 342 pages | ISBN 9781496978745 E-Book | 342 pages | ISBN 9781496978752 Available at Amazon and Barnes & Noble amazon/Africa-Cafe-Faruk-Budak/dp/1496978749/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1405415821&sr=1-2&keywords=Africa+Cafe
