For the first time in 40 years African skies resound to the roar of a flying boat.
Alexander Frater boards a wartime Catalina in search of the romance and adventure of Imperial Airways' legendary route from Cairo to the Cape. Speeding low across the pyramids of Giza the passengers were pampered with champagne and smoked salmon.

Today, Frater discovers that civil wars, cyclones and bungling bureaucracy are now much more the order of the day. His odyssey takes him down the White Nile to the Rift Valley lakes of Kenya and on to the astonishing Ilha de Mocambique - the forgotten jewel of the Indian Ocean.
