In November 2013,former soldier Levison Wood embarked on one of the last great explorations: to walk the Nile and attempt to conquer one of the world's last firsts. In this detailed,thoughtful,inspiring and dramatic book,he recounts his walk along the length of the river,uncovering its history and coming face to face with the great story of a modern Africa emerging from its past.
The challenges that the terrain,the climate,the animals,the people and Levison's own psychological resolution throw at him on his journey are immense. But exploration and Africa are two of his great passions - they feed his curiosity and strengthen his determination to succeed.From the source of the Nile in the forests of Rwanda to its mouth on Egypt's Mediterranean coast,Levison comes across extraordinary people,natural wonders and unique wildlife in some of the continent's most remote and spectacular locations.
The dangers are very real,but so is the motivation for this ex-army officer.If he can overcome the mental and physical challenges,he will be walking into history.
