His journey is 4250 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. Exploration and Africa are two of Levison Wood's great passions - they motivate his inquisitiveness and resolution not to fail, yet the challenges of the terrain, the climate, the animals, the people and his own psychological resolution will throw at him are immense. In this detailed, thoughtful, inspiring and dramatic book, he recounts his epic journey - uncovering the history of the Nile, meeting some fascinating people through his expedition and coming face-to-face with the great story of a modern Africa emerging out of the past.
