Travelling upstream, in the direction of the earliest explorers she will journey along Africa’s ‘life line’, visiting the people who live and work along this famous river today. Travelling through 5 different countries, she’ll cross some of the most inhospitable landscapes on earth; from deserts where ancient civilizations once ruled to jungles where Victorian explorers underwent unspeakable suffering. Joanna’s Nile adventure is an epic one but as she nears the end of her 4000 mile journey in search of the river’s newest source in Rwanda, she discovers that hacking through the jungle to her final goal, is not for the faint hearted.
