Resumen del Editor
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.

Historia
Levison Wood's famous walking expeditions have taken him from the length of the Nile River to the peaks of the Himalayas, and in Walking the Americas, Wood chronicles his latest exhilarating adventure: a 1,800-mile trek across the spine of the Americas, through eight countries, from Mexico to Colombia. Beginning in the Yucatán, Wood's journey takes him from sleepy barrios to glamorous cities to ancient Mayan ruins lying unexcavated in the wilderness.

Historia
Praised by Bear Grylls, Levison Wood has been called "the toughest man on TV" ( The Times UK). Now, following in the footsteps of the great explorers, Levison recounts the beauty and danger he found along the Silk Road route of Afghanistan, the Line of Control between Pakistan and India, the disputed territories of Kashmir, and the earthquake-ravaged lands of Nepal. Over the course of six months, Wood and his trusted guides trekked 1,700 grueling miles across the roof of the world.

Ever since he was young, Levison Wood has been fascinated by elephants and their fight for survival. Whilst trekking the Nile he saw these beasts up close, and in The Last Giants, he finally satisfies his desire to learn more about the majestic African elephant. In The Last Giants, he teams up with local trackers to gain insight into how this iconic species survives, camps out in the wild, meets the people and tribes living on the migration's path, and joins the park rangers whose job it is to protect these land goliaths.

Historia
"Dr. Livingstone, I presume?" So goes the signature introduction of New York Herald star journalist Henry Morton Stanley to renowned explorer Dr. David Livingstone, who had been missing for six years in the wilds of Africa. Into Africa ushers us into the meeting of these remarkable men. In 1866, when Livingstone journeyed into the heart of the African continent in search of the Nile's source, the land was rough, unknown to Europeans, and inhabited by man-eating tribes.

Kept me interested
The story is very engaging my only issue (and it's a minor one) is the narration, most of the time it's excellent but the narrator isn't great with accents, especially near the end he drifts in and out of accents for the same character going from almost American to kind of African and then almost to British all for the same person. Anyway great listen overall

Great Book
I thought the narrator's voice did not sound like someone who would walk the Nile. Some one younger sounding, maybe less proper.

Great adventure for an armchair traveler
Subject reminded me of the nineteenth century stories of entering darkest Africa. Am amazed that Mr Wood was not robbed nor hurt by the climate and terrain. I was expecting more confrontations with wild animals (is Africa snake free now?) His fortitude and bravery are to be admired.

scrambled eggs
The only problem I had was when Lev has suggested that when you break the eggs you make an omelette. Boston sure knew you can make scrambled eggs too but Lev insisted on omelette. It was all part of the joke though....

Fascinating story.
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.

Traveling is about meeting the locals
Love it! My kind of travel, I hope the young generations are inspired in traveling for a long period of time in a local atmosphere realizing that we are just tiny fragments in this world.
