Description

Former soldier Levison Wood embarks on one of the last great explorations and attempts to conquer one of the world's last firsts.His epic journey of almost 4000 miles on foot along the world's longest river will go down in the history of exploration. Following in the footsteps of the earliest humans and the legends of African exploration, he camps in the wild, forages for food and fends for himself against multiple dangers.From the source of the Nile in the forests of Rwanda to its mouth on Egypt's Mediterranean coast, he passes through rainforests, savannah, swamp, desert and luch delta oasis. He crosses six very different countries, immersing himself in the people and the stories of modern-day Africa.The dangers are very real, but so is the motivation; if he can overcome the mental and physical challenges, he will be walking into history.
