In 2013, three friends set off on a journey that they had been told
was impossible: the north-south crossing of the Congo River Basin,
from Kinshasa, in the Democratic Republic of Congo, to Juba, in
South Sudan.Traversing two and a half thousand miles of the
toughest terrain on the planet in a twenty-five year old Land
Rover, they faced repeated challenges, from kleptocracy and fire
ants to non-existent roads and intense suspicion from local people.
Through imagination and teamwork - including building rafts and
bridges to cross rivers, conducting makeshift surgery in the jungle
and playing tribal politics - they got through. But the Congo is
raw, and the journey took an unexpected psychological toll on them
all.Crossing the Congo is a story of friendship, what it takes to
complete a great journey against tremendous odds, and an intimate
look into one of the world's least-developed and most fragile
states.
