Charting the journey of Kingsley Holgate across Africa as he ventures along the length of the continents's waterways, this journal is a rich weave of daily challenges, historical tidbits and a record of the diverse cultures and natural wonders that this intrepid traveller encounters.
From the storm-tossed seas of Cape Point to the legendary Nile River, the timeless waterways of Africa have provided many an adventurer with a challenge.

The journey takes the adventurers up the Wild Coast, up the magnificent Okavango Delta, along the length of the great Zambezi River and across some of Africa's greatest lakes, including Victoria, Tanganyika and Turkana. The romantic in Kingsley leads him up the East coast in the wake of the Arab dhows, while his sense of history makes it imperative that he seek out the source of the mighty Nile itself. The journal of the adventure is a rich weave of daily challenges, historical tidbits and a record of the diverse cultures and natural wonders that this group of intrepid travellers encounter.

Kingsley Holgate has become synonymous with adventure, not only in Africa, but thanks to his National Geographic documentaries, also worldwide. Inspired by the African adventurers of old - the likes of Livingstone and Speke - Kingsley and his family have undertaken a number of epic trips across the African continent in the past decade. While travelling, the self-described 'romantic adventurer' and his team make their own documentaries, recording the traditional cultures and the magnificent variety of fauna and flora en route. Despite his love of travel and adventure, however, Kingsley's roots are firmly planted in Zululand on the KwaZulu-Natal North coast.
