The expedition went off without a hitch. Safety was paramount and we are happy to report that despite some close encounters with Hippo and Elephant there were no mishaps. The scenery, people and wildlife varied greatly on our 180km trip but all were awe inspiring. As a team the expedition members could not have gelled together better with nightly racus laughter around the campfire. A big thank you to all the team especially Sir Ranulph and Lady Fiennes who made the long trip from the UK and to expedition founder Simon Wild (pictured here paddling hard !) of Siankaba who’s tireless efforts ensured the flawless execution of this experience, the memories of which will last a lifetime.
You can read our daily diary of the expedition below, however watch out for the final expedition report (and new photos) soon to be posted on the website. In addition keep your eyes open for newspaper and magazine articles which will be posted in the UK (in January 06) and possibly South Africa and America.
