In 2008, kayaker Ben Stookesberry set out on an ambitious journey: to kayak the world's largest river, the Nile, from its source in the Rwenzori Mountains of Uganda to its mouth in the Mediterranean Sea. The journey would cover over 6,000 miles and take Stookesberry through some of the most remote and challenging terrain on Earth.

Stookesberry's journey was not without its challenges. He faced extreme heat, cold, and hunger. He was attacked by crocodiles and hippos. He was even robbed at gunpoint. But through it all, Stookesberry never gave up on his dream.

In 2010, after two years of paddling, Stookesberry finally reached the Mediterranean Sea. He had become the first person to ever kayak the entire length of the Nile River.
