Africa travels with Kate Fields interview notes
In a conversation with Kate Field of Washington the interview discusses a woman's travel through Africa. Fields explains motives, risks, and methods including a 188‑person caravan, a palanquin journey to Lake Chala, and use of a diplomatic passport. She notes cultural encounters, native cows and crops, and cautions against a six month Cook's tour for most women.
