Paddle the Nile

Sarah Davis is paddling the Nile from source to sea. She is using a raft for the upper Nile in Rwanda and Uganda since there is a considerable amount of whitewater. For the lower portions she will be using a folding kayak.

The Nile has two sources, the White Nile and the Blue Nile; she has decided to put-in at the source of the White Nile. The journey will take her through Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda, South Sudan, Sudan and Egypt to the run-out in the Mediterranean Sea.

There will be various paddlers and others involved in the effort throughout the journey. They will be carrying all their gear, food and water with them, however there will be resupply points.
