520    His journey is 4,250 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.In this detailed, 
       thoughtful, inspiring and dramatic book, recounting 
       Levison Wood's walk the length of the Nile, he will 
       uncover the history of the Nile, yet through the people he
       meets and who will help him with his journey, he will come
       face to face with the great story of a modern Africa 
       emerging out of the past. Exploration and Africa are two 
       of his great passions - they drive him on and 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.The dangers are very real, but so is the 
       motivation for this ex-army officer. If he can overcome 
       the mental and physical challenges, he will be walking 
       into history ...
