For hair-raising adventure on the Nile river from the true source at the headsprings of the Kagera River traveling by muscle power only, 4,145 miles to Rosetta,a port town, at the mouth of the Nile on the Mediterranean sea; this exciting exploration is so interesting you may be unable to put it down until finished. It's that riveting! John Goddard and his two traveling companions risked their lives on this great river with its variety of animals, weather, peoples, and terrain, in kayaks. They became known as the three Nileteers! They were also the first to document their journey from the true source of the river. The reader actually feels a part of the journey.
