This was pretty good! I read this before in probably middle school, so didn't remember anything. I think I confused it with They Came To Baghdad, too, because I was thinking it was middle eastern, not African. Anyhow.

This was a fun story. Very twisty and lots of happening to be in the right place at the right time. Anne is a fun character to be in the head of.

There's, of course, some sexism and racism since it's from 1924 and a lot takes place in South Africa, Botswana, and Rhodesia (they go to Rhodes' grave...). But it's not terrible all things considered.
