"Dark Star Safari is a wonderful, powerful book, a loving letter to the continent from a writer who has discovered that he has carried something of its essence, like a talisman, through his adult life." (Sunday Times, London)
"[Theroux's] encounters with the natives, aid workers, and occasional tourists make for rollicking entertainment, even as they offer a sobering look at the social and political chaos in which much of Africa finds itself." (Publishers Weekly)
