OnNovember 25th Brit Levison Wood sets off in his attempt to become the first person to walk the full length of the River Nile, from source to sea. Tackling mountains in Rwanda, to tropical rainforest in Uganda, Swamps (the world’s biggest) in South to Sudan to savannah, bushland and the Sahara desert, political conflict, wildlife and disease, he aims to walk the 4,250 miles in 12 months. His route will take him through 7 African countries (Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania, Uganda, South Sudan, The Sudan, and Egypt.) The journey starts on December 1st in Rwanda. “Its been a real challenge sorting the funding but its now all happening at the 11th hour but can’t complain, at least I’m off!” says Levison to ExplorersWeb.
