Levison Wood - Walking the Nile

A gentleman by the name of Levison Wood has taken it upon himself to walk up the Nile from its source all the way to the delta. No small feat, it spanned 3,800 miles, 6 countries and took 9 months. It would have been 4,250 miles had it not been for fighting in the South Sudan that forced him to skip a 450-mile section. Along for this epic journey was his trusty Leica camera.

Check out his book on the journey called, Walking the Nile, the Channel 4 site of the TV program which is currently showing episodes on Sundays or the Facebook page. It is also being broadcast in the U.S.A. on the Animal Planet channel.

Tragically, a NY-based photojournalist by the name of Matt Power died of heat stroke very suddenly along the way in Uganda.
