In June 2016, Oscar Scafidi and Alfy Weston set out to complete the
first ever source-to-sea expedition along Angola's longest river,
the Kwanza. Paddling and carrying a forty-year-old collapsible
wooden kayak, they embarked on a journey of 1,300km in support of
The HALO Trust, the oldest and largest humanitarian landmine
clearance organisation in the world. Over thirty-two days the pair
kayaked, hiked and waded towards the Atlantic Ocean, meeting a
whole host of interesting people - from security forces, to diamond
miners, to farmers and fishermen. Things didn't always go smoothly.
They were attacked by hippos and bitten by insects. They sank in
rapids, picked up nasty injuries, and were arrested then threatened
with deportation. Oscar and Alfy's expedition raised $25,000 for
The HALO Trust. The documentary film they made of the journey was
aired in film festivals in the UK, the USA, Canada, Australia and
Cyprus, and their journey is currently being reviewed by Guinness
World Records. This is the story of how they did it. The author
will be donating 25% of this book's profits to The HALO Trust, to
help make Angola landmine free by 2025.
