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, thoughtful, inspiring and dramatic book, recounting Levison Wood's walk the length of the Nile, he uncovers the history of this legendary river.
