Biologist Christina Allen had big dreams of Africa-and found a way to make those dreams a reality She joined a team of scientists biking along East Africa's Great Rift Valley looking for wildlife. Christina also visited several tribes, witnessing their cultures firsthand!

Always ready to accept challenges and laugh at her mistakes, Christina candidly shares the details of her adventure. Humorous and touching, Hippos in the Night is full of hope for the wildlife-and the people-of Africa.
