Notes -
I read a book about the adventures of Rene Caillié who travelled alone in West Africa to reach Timbuktu at a time when most European explorers would not survive the tropical fevers. Probably this one. The area was under Moorish control so he disguised himself as a Moor, learned Arabic, pretended he wanted to convert, was essentially a hobo at times, very determined guy.
