Summary:
The journey is 4,250 miles long. He is walking every step of the way, camping in the wild, foraging for food, fending for himself against multiple dangers. He is passing through rainforest, savannah, swamp, desert and lush delta oasis. He will cross seven, very different countries. No one has ever made this journey on foot. In this detailed, inspiring and dramatic book, recounting Levison Wood's walk the length of the
Nile
, he will uncover the history of the
Nile
, yet through the people he meets and who will help him with his journey, he will come face to face with the great story of a modern Africa emerging out of the past. The challenges of the terrain, the climate, the animals, the people and his own psychological resolution will throw at him are immense. The dangers are very real, but so is the motivation for this ex-army officer to overcome the mental and physical challenges.
