Walking the Nile Audiobook (Free)

Starting in November 2013 within a forest in Rwanda, in which a modest springtime spouts a trickle of clear, cold water, Levison Wood set forth on foot, aiming to become the first person to walk the complete amount of the Nile. He adopted the river for nine a few months, over 4,000 kilometers, through six nations-Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda, South Sudan, the Republic of Sudan, and Egypt-to the Mediterranean coast.

Like his predecessors, Wood camped in the wild, foraged for food, and trudged through rainforest, swamp, savannah, and desert, long lasting life-threatening conditions at every turn. He traversed sandstorms, display floods, minefields, and more, becoming a regional superstar in Uganda, in which a popular rap song was written about him, and a potential foe of the condition in South Sudan, where he found himself caught inside a civil war and detained by the secret police.

An inimitable story of survival, resilience, and sheer willpower, Walking the Nile is an inspiring chronicle of an epic journey straight down the lifeline of civilization in northern Africa.
