About the book
He is walking every step of the way, camping in the wild, foraging for food, fending for himself against multiple dangers.

In this detailed, thoughtful, inspiring and dramatic book, recounting Levison Wood's walk the length of the Nile, he uncovers the history of this legendary river. Yet through the people he meets and who help him with his journey, he comes face-to-face with the great story of a modern Africa emerging out of the past.

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...
