4,250-mile trek, 7 million steps and 9 months
Dauntless explorer and former British Army paratrooper Levison Wood walked the Nile - from source to sea - to uncover its many perplexities and to be the first person ever to endure something of extraordinary magnitude.
Dauntless explorer and former British Army paratrooper Levison Wood walked the Nile - from source to sea - to uncover its many perplexities and to be the first person ever to endure something of extraordinary magnitude. This inspiring journey will air on Discovery channel’s series ‘Walking The Nile’ premiering at 9pm on February 22.
Africa has always been one of Levison's greatest passions, and the Nile largely has been impassable until now because of disease, war and geo-political instability in the region. In ‘Walking The Nile’, Levison commits to his greatest expedition ever: 4,250 miles of walking along the river and through some of the most intense yet exquisite countries; a journey of more than seven million steps over a nine-month expanse.
On his journey, Levison suffers many emotional crises, including the shocking passing of a friend and journalist Matt Power (from heat stroke), who joined him along the way. By dodging minefields and heading into a 120-degree desert, he also must save himself amidst a violent civil war in South Sudan. Furthermore, he is robbed roadside, averts gangs and rebels and often is tailed by local law enforcement.
