Outside Magazine's "Peter Stark" wrote At the Mercy of the River, An Exploration of Africa"s last remaining Wilderness


Peter Stark, shown in the picture on the cover of his book . Peter and several others ran the Lugenda River of the Niassa Reserve back in 2002 I believe. He wrote "At the Mercy of the River" which documented the expedition. The mountain in the background
is the same rock that is seen in many of our photos because now it is seen from the dining room of the Luchenge Camp, Luwire Safari's "Headquarters" location on the Lugenda. Note the river level at this time of year, sometime in early spring. The river at this time of the year boasts class 5 rapids in many sections. Keith and Colleen have ran the entire river themselves and have mapped with GPS coordinates all the major rapids. We hope to begin float trips in this part of the season very soon. AP
