Our African Winter is a 1929 travelogue by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, detailing his family's trip to South Africa and neighboring countries from late 1928 to early 1929, primarily for spiritualism lectures. The book serves as a travelogue, describing the challenges of tourism and colonial life, and includes his observations on history, nature, and his spiritualist beliefs, though some find the latter repetitive.
