Into The Wild: The Congo-Nile Trail

The Egyptians were very lucky to have the Nile River because without it they wouldn’t be able to survive. The Nile shaped Egypt by granting them with almost everything they needed. Where the Nileś source came from may have been a riddle to them but we know that came from Lake Tana which is the branch called the Blue Nile and from Lake Victoria which is the other branch called the White Nile. Egypt has been around for five thousand years and for all of those five thousand years the Nile River helped the Egyptians survive in Egypt. The Nile River shaped Ancient Egypt by setting a calendar, providing food and water,

Life on the road means being completely dependent on nature. Many people travel outdoors because of the compelling beauty of nature. Travelers of the road do it for the thrill, and others for soul-seeking. Nature has a strong effect on humans, whether it’s positive or negative. For example, a travel can either end in acknowledging the beauty of nature or a fatal accident.

Only one of my friends is in to hiking. The other, well they do not mind it, but they do not get out a lot. Same with me, I would love to, but it is very rare that I have a full day off, and have people who want to go with. That why I chose to do my practice journey during my March Break, and told my friends they had to do it with me. So during the Tuesday (one of the three days I had off work) I packed a hiking bag, picked them up, grabbed Pita Pit for lunch, and drove up the mountain.

Did you know that the Nile River is the longest river in the world and flows for over 4000 miles? With the last 660 miles of the Nile River flowing through Lower Egypt and the Nile Delta, it played a big role in ancient Egypt from the time of the first pharaoh in 2920 BC through 30 BC.

We all burn. Some more easily than others, but the sun has it’s way with us all in the end. Don’t come home with an embarrassing sunburn. I prefer SPF 35, but the most important number is one. Bring at least one bottle of sunscreen and apply before you hit the hiking trail.
