NZer Natalie McComb is the only woman in a crew of seven rafters aiming to sail the length of the Nile – a 4,200-mile journey from Uganda’s Lake Victoria to the Mediterranean which has never before been accomplished. The team includes Dr Ian Clarke, a specialist in tropical disease who will undertake research in previously unexplored areas, and photographer Daniel Prior, who will film the rafters’ search for the sunken battleship ‘Malik,’ sent by Lord Kitchener in 1898 to aid British forces during the Sudanese rebellion.
