NIGER RIVER
KAYAK EXPEDITION
Departure will be from Bamako in November 2011. Over 1000 km of navigation on the River Niger in Mali, passing through fishing villages, the Natural Park of the Inner Delta and then until Timbouctu.
Along the Niger river
Will be used a folding kayak built by Leonardo De Chiara. A FAP 15 in aluminum tubes and reinforced PVC covering.
This choice gives the trip a double value because there is no news of other kayakers ventured into a similar journey in self-sufficiency and without support, but especially with a homemade kayak!

Salvatore Bartoli and Saro Carpenter completed another adventure in the Mediterranean Sea.
Saro an Salvo have matured over many years travel experience, by kayak, solo and in teams: the Balearic Islands, Crete, Peloponnese, Croatia, Sardinia, Sicily, Baja California, are just some of the destinations in which they paddled. In the Kayakextreme's Travel Blog will find the Log Book of the Circumnavigation.
The aim of the trip was to navigate in kayaks along the coast, making nautical camping in the absence of support on the ground, in total autonomy. The kayaks were also equipped with solar panels for autonomy for the power of GPS, VHF, telephone.
