I'm A Celeb viewers show support for Grace Dent as she quits show but say it was 'obvious' she was going to leave: 'She looked like she hated every minute!' In this detailed, thoughtful, inspiring and dramatic book, recounting Levison Wood's walk the length of the Nile, he will uncover the history of the Nile, yet through the people he meets and who will help him with his journey, he will come face to face with the great story of a modern Africa emerging out of the past. Exploration and Africa are two of his great passions - they drive him on and motivate his inquisitiveness and resolution not to fail, yet the challenges of the terrain, the climate, the animals, the people and his own psychological resolution will throw at him are immense. But Wood kept walking and pushing north to Egypt. It's an amazing story, and one I highly recommend to my fellow armchair travelers. Just be sure to have some tissues handy when Wood's friend dies. After about five miles Mr Power said he needed to sit down, and Florio was grateful for the break. Mr Power said he did not feel well but Beke said that they should press on.

My journey through Egypt had never been done before, especially with it being filmed, so it was a struggle to get permissions in place. It didn’t help that I was travelling in the aftermath of the Arab Spring. Now, the Nile in Egypt is much easier to travel around. The river really is the lifeblood of Egypt and it’s incredible to learn about the history of the country by travelling down it – there are great cruises you can do from Cairo, Luxor or Aswan. A lot of your trips feature gruelling limit-testing feats. But did you encounter any meditative, mindful moments walking along Africa’s longest river?

Adele poses with BFF Alan Carr, 47, on the night she confirmed she had married Rich Paul - and the comedian's new toyboy lover, 27, took the photo Uganda is very protective over their source of the Nile in Jinja” says Levison, “so, Mr Seguya summoned a televised press conference. I put my argument forward and he put his forward and we came to an agreement that the source of the White Nile is in Jinja, which kept everyone happy. He then proceeded to give me free rangers for the National Parks, so it all worked out for the best.” White Nile is itself a fairly violent history - what stories of exploration and colonial conquest aren't? - but the gauzy lens of time adds a layer of adventure and even romance. But there's no such filter on Walking the Nile. As Wood travels downstream from south to north, he moves from conflict zone to conflict zone, passing from the killing fields of Rwanda to a Uganda still struggling to recover from the depravities of Idi Amin, and then on to South Sudan, whose bizarre and intractable tribal war reads like deleted scenes from "Apocalypse Now." I watched the TV series and then started the book and I found it quite interesting that things were missing from the Book that was in the series, I'd have thought all of it would have been in the book. The Nile remains one of the last holy grails in exploration – no-one has ever completed its entire length on foot. Levison’s goal is to reach the Mediterranean Sea – whatever lies in his way and wherever the Nile takes him for 4200 miles. The river pushes him to the edge of his mental and physical limits as he is forced live off his wits and bushcraft skills.In May 2020, Channel 4 commenced broadcasting Walking with Elephants, where Levison followed the 650-mile migration of elephants across Botswana.
