 A gripping, soul-searching travel memoir that blends high-stakes adventure with personal transformation.

When the pressures of corporate life became unbearable, Boon chose an extraordinary escape: paddling the entire 3,000-kilometre length of the Zambezi Riveralone, unsupported, and unsponsored. Over 100 days, he faced war-torn landscapes, crocodile-infested waters, and treacherous rapids, including a near-death whirlpool experience and an arrest by Angolan soldiers.

But this wasnt just a physical challenge. Haunted by flashbacks from his time in the South African Defence Force, Boons journey became a quest for healing and reconciliationwith himself, his continent, and his past. Along the way, he encountered extraordinary wildlife, generous locals, and the raw beauty of Africas landscapes, culminating in a powerful moment of peace as he reached the Indian Ocean at Chinde, Mozambique.

📚 With vivid storytelling and emotional depth, Zambezi is more than an adventureits a testament to resilience, redemption, and the wild call of the river.
