This antique book, "The Great Rift Valley" by J.W. Gregory, was published in 1896 in London by John Murray, Albemarle Street. It is a piece of English literature from the late 19th century that narrates about a journey to Mount Kenya and Lake Baringo in East Africa. The book also provides information on the geology, history, anthropology of the region, and its prospects within the British Empire. The book is enhanced with maps and illustrations.


The author describes his journey from the very inception of the idea, the preparations, the actual voyage, and all the landmarks encountered along the way to the final destinations. It provides detailed descriptions of the region's flora, fauna, and the peculiarities of the local population's way of life, which the colonizers encountered.
In fact, the book describes the first expedition into the previously inkown highland regions of Mt. Kenya, uncluding a description of a rhinoceros hunt on the Kapte Plain
