Product Description

Join a team of explorers on the expedition of a lifetime as they set off to become the first to navigate the Blue Nile from source to sea. The epic 3,260 mile descent down the world's greatest and deadliest river has eluded humankind for centuries - until now! Ride shotgun on the team's 16-foot rafts as they crash through the rapids in Ethiopia's desert canyons. Battle through some of the world's most extreme whitewater rapids with renowned kayaker, Gordon Brown. Over the arduous, four month journey, the team faces nearly in-surmountable challenges - from crocodile attacks to armed bandits and arrests. Through breathtaking cinematography, Mystery of the Nile reveals a wondrous region and abundant treasures, from Tissisat Falls and the wonders of Egypt to the forgotten black pyramids of Meroe and 12th century churches that were carved into sheer rock. Disc 2 includes the complete feature in Microsoft Windows Media High Definition, playable on your PC.

Excellent
You are there.... well, almost. I am going to buy this DVD. Bravo! Wish it were twice as long!

nile boat trip
good but I would like to see more land and river ,less of the people making the boat trip...show more of the head waters of the nile...not just 30 sec.

A thrill ride all the way
Once again the Macgillivray-Freeman company have produced a superb film. The trip down the Nile is a wonderful adventure.
