In the 1870's it took years to make the journey across the great continent of Africa and few survived to tell the tale. From Cape Town to Timbuktu is over 4000 miles. Today, with the advent of train, plane, and automobile, the journey can be made in three weeks at a leisurely pace. The standards have been upgraded since Stanley's day from bare survival to 5 star luxury. Today there is little risk to life or limb in making the journey. One's 'chances of survival' are virtually guaranteed!
