Sir Richard George Glyn, 3rd Baronet

In 1863, English gentlemen Sir Richard George Glyn and his brother Robert came to Africa, lured to the continent by its big game and the astounding cascade that David Livingstone had recently ‘discovered’ and named The Victoria Falls.

Richard kept a diary about their extraordinary odyssey, a journal which inspired his and Robert ’s great-great-grand niece, Patricia Glyn, to shadow their expedition in 2005. But unlike her ancestors, Patricia did the journey entirely on foot. Accompanied by her little African dog, Tapiwa, she walked nearly 2 200 kilometres, following her forebears’ route along the 19th- century wagon trails that once snaked along the great rivers of the subcontinent.
