Kayak The Kwanza

Опубликовано в in Documentary Feature

Описание

In June 2016, our two man team completed the first ever source-to-mouth expedition along the Kwanza River in Angola. We used a 40 year-old foldable wooden kayak that we paddled and carried along the 1,300km journey. This trip retraced some of the steps of sixteenth century English explorer Andrew Battel and recorded information on wildlife and human activity along the remote stretches of the river. So far we have raised over USD25,000 for The HALO Trust, an organization specialising in the removal of the debris of war, such as landmines. Our journey is currently being reviewed by Guinness World Records. This is the story of how we did it.

    I have been surfing on-line more than three hours today, but I never discovered any interesting article like yours.
    It’s pretty worth sufficient for me. In my opinion, if all web owners and bloggers made good content material as you did, the web can be much
    more useful than ever before.
