Hibbert is a writer of absolute certainty, and it is hard not to believe that he was himself on hand at every occasion he recounts.

Fascinating reading... . [Africa Explored] is likely to send the reader back to the explorers' own published accounts to gratify the curiosity Hibbert so entertainingly stimulates.

Hibbert writes exceptionally well, with a sharp eye for the clash of character and the dramatic moment.
