by the Crater Highlands, to the north, beyond an escarpment the plains of the Serengeti. Over 100 years ago

bushmen living there were pushed south. Many made Lake Eyasi and its surrounding bush and forests their home.

Crater is a microcosm of African life enclosed in an unique place. This Living Eden is a glorious stage where
lions, hyenas, cheetahs, jackals, vultures, servals and wildebeest act out a dramatic story of life and death that was set into motions so long ago.

The Swahili (The Peoples of Africa) - Mark Horton, John Middleton
The Swahili are one of the best known of the peoples of Africa. Living along the East African coast, they
acted as commercial middlemen, exchanging the commodities of continental Africa, such as gold, copper,
slaves, ivory, skins and timber with the luxury items of the classical, oriental and Islamic worlds. They were
central participants in a global economy, long before the era of European expansion. This book is one of the
first to draw on recent archaeological findings and a re-assessment of the historical and anthropological
evidence to provide an account of this remarkable African civilization covering some two thousand years.
This book is essential reading not only for Africanists, but also for those dealing with the history of Islam,
Mediterranean history, and Indian Ocean studies, and for those who wish to understand how trading societies organize their landscape, society, governance and belief systems.
