It was 1854 when two very different men, English aristocrat John Hanning Speke and bold adventurer Sir Richard Francis Burton, embarked on the journey that was to alter the course of history. Their mission: to discover the true source of the Nile. They had the daring to brave the ravages of nature, vicious attacks by the Somali, and life-threatening illness. Their sheer courage and raw determination would be tested in a way civilization never could. Their story is an epic of triumph and tragedy, betrayal and mystery. It has fascinated the world for over one hundred years.
