i went alone to West Africa with an idea to cross the river Niger from its springs in Guinea to the mouth in Nigeria. It took me 222 km and two months to realize that remaining 2800+ km is almost impossible to crunch through due to the poor setup of equipment (just look at the boat!), poor timing of arrival (dry season at its peak) and an ongoing war in Mali north region between French forces and local Tuareg tribes. But i'll be back once the stars align in same order again:)
nuvykau vienas su tikslu perplaukt Nigerio upę nuo ištakų iki pabaigos. Po 222 km ir 2 mėnesių plaukimo supratau, kad reik grįžti namo ir geriau pasiruošt norint pabaigti kelionę iki galo.
