Thirteen years after the publication of her book The White Masai, Corinne Hofmann returns to the theme of Africa with her new book, Africa, My Passion. Her marriage to a Masai warrior may be no more, but her adventures have continued here.
What a journey! She recounts her experiences visiting slums, travelling across many locations to see family and friends and in particular to ensure her daughter’s first meeting with her Masai father.
CORINNE now lives in Switzerland and this is the story of her return to see Namibia to discover the lives of Himba tribe, the slums of Kibera in Nairobi, and many other places that she once spoke of as home. She also travels to Barsaloi with her daughter- Napirai to meet her family.
Corinne is the ultimate guide – having lived in and a been part of a country and its culture in such a way, she is hardly an outsider yet she is able to give a interesting and fascinating account of a very unique culture which would be alien to many of us but a side to Africa you would never see without Corinne’s account.
