Library Binding
(Raintree July 30, 2003)
A journey up the Nile River is a voyage along the largest river in the world. We travel the entire 4,144 miles (6,670 km), from the enormous Lake Victoria in East Africa, to the huge fan-shaped delta where the Nile joins the Mediterranean Sea. The Nile's source remained unknown until just 100 years ago. Famous explorers, such as David Livingstone, lost their lives looking for it, but others returned with tales of beautiful landscapes, exotic wildlife, and amazing people. Many of these sights can still be seen today. As we follow this journey, we will learn more about the people and places that line this extraordinary river.
