Levison Wood
Starting in November 2013 in a forest in Rwanda, where a modest spring spouts a trickle of clear, cold water, Levison Wood set forth on foot, aiming to become the first person to walk the entire length of the Nile. He followed the river for nine months, over 4,000 miles, 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, enduring life-threatening conditions at every turn. He traversed sandstorms, flash floods, minefields, and more, becoming a local celebrity in Uganda, where a popular rap song was written about him, and a potential enemy of the state in South Sudan, where he found himself caught in a civil war and detained by the secret police.
An inimitable tale of survival, resilience, and sheer willpower, Walking the Nile is an inspiring chronicle of an epic journey down the lifeline of civilization in northern Africa.

Would you listen to Walking the Nile again? Why?
Yes, absolutely. I loved the story, especially the historical and cultural details and already relistened to many passages, not to miss anything.What did you like best about this story?
It felt very real, alive, I could imagine Africa in a way I could not before and it made me read more, search out more about the continent.What does Gildart Jackson bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
I enjoyed his lively presentation. It brought events closer than just reading the book, I think.Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I would have liked to, but did not have the time in one sitting. Also, it would have been a pity do be done in only one sitting, I felt like extending the listening time, didn't want it to end.Any additional comments?
I highly recommend the book.Fascinating story.
