What reading level is From Ruwenzori to the Congo a Naturalists Journey Across Africa book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Though we * So called in Dr. Stuhlmann's map. The natives, whom we questioned, called the river ' Paka. ' OUR PEACEABLE PROGRESS 143 lost two valuable days In so doing, we were able to define very clearly the exact boundary of the great Semliki forest, and to see how, a little farther north of the Russirubi, it became continuous with the mountain forest. The foot-hills of Ruwenzori on the west side descend almost as abruptly into the level plain as do the walls of the valley of the Rhone above ...its entrance into the Lake of Geneva, and the mountain valleys open in as modest and un- assuming a manner there as they do in Switzerland. Turning south towards the Butagu Valley, we passed for hours through magnificent banana 'shambas, ' which could be seen extending for miles along the foot of the hills and out into the plain. Many of these shambas had been long neglected, and had run wild, and their extent was obviously far in excess of the needs of the present population. It was difficult to account for the diminution in the numbers of the people, unless it was a result of the raids, which the Manyuema from the Congo and the Kings of Toro and Unyoro from our own territory used to make into the Semliki Valley, but those are supposed to have ceased many years ago.
