Heading upstream, in the direction of the earliest explorers, Joanna travels by boat, train, ferry, car, plane, mule and camel along Africa’s ‘life line’. On a four thousand mile journey, passing through Egypt, Sudan, Ethiopia, Uganda and Rwanda, Joanna revisits the romantic history of the Nile and talks with the people working and living on the river today. On a journey resonant with legend and myth, Joanna’s companions and adventures breathe new life into the story of an ancient river. She meets ferryboat captains, crocodile hunters, whirling dervishes and beauty queens and finds herself undertaking a wood smoke beauty treatment, running with Olympic hopefuls, getting up close to a baby rhino calf playing with its mother and hacking through the jungle to reach the newly-discovered source of the great river. As she travels past pyramids and ancient temples, through deserts, jungle and war torn landscapes, Joanna’s charm, enthusiasm and graceful fortitude carries us along a fascinating and epic journey. Review: Incredible series - I loved every minute of this programme. What compelling viewing! I never knew the source of the Nile was in Rwanda, and how long and how fascinating her journey was going to be. Joanna has a lovely calm voice that guides you the through the beautiful scenery and she knows her subject well. I am going to buy all the other series she has made. She is a very good presenter and I'm surprised and disappointed that she hasn't been added to the list of presenters like Portillo and Palin who are continually praised and recognised as such. Review: English re assessment of africa - The CD is very good. It educates, informs, entertains and inspires. BUT,old habits die hard and slowly. Joanna Lumley brings her quintessential English view of Africa but with a new interest in Africans and some entirely new understanding of the modern post colonial world. The new approach recognises our shared humanity and seems, in most part, to begin to cast aside the old patronising and superior attitudes that the English have had of Africans. It will take time for a more respectful view to emerge but more documentaries like this will go a long way to speed the transition. Joanna's comments comparing the nomadic Nubian family's lifestyle to the English Suburbian lifestyle illustrates my point. To me it seemed as if Joanna accepted the best hospitality that the nubian family could offer her and then turned around to the camera and mocked their lifestyle, safe in the knowledge that there is no way they would ever understand the sub text of what she was saying about them In this documentary Africans had more positive roles to play not just being victims. This CD will reach a lot of people because it is presented Joanna Lumley. BUT overall it is a very good value for money. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00395ATS6 | | Actors | Joanna Lumley | | Best Sellers Rank | 30,140 in DVD & Blu-ray ( See Top 100 in DVD & Blu-ray ) 1,264 in Documentary (DVD & Blu-ray) 6,681 in Television (DVD & Blu-ray) | | Customer reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (175) | | Is discontinued by manufacturer | No | | Item model number | 5014138605209 | | Language | English (Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo) | | Media Format | Anamorphic, Colour, HiFi Sound, PAL, Widescreen | | Number of discs | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 13.5 x 1.5 x 19 cm; 80 g | | Rated | Exempt | | Release date | 10 May 2010 | | Run time | 3 hours and 4 minutes | | Studio | 2entertain | ## Product Details - **Colour:** Colour - **Contributor:** Joanna Lumley - **Format:** Anamorphic, Colour, HiFi Sound, PAL, Widescreen - **Language:** English - **Runtime:** 3 hours and 4 minutes ## Images ![Joanna Lumley's Nile [DVD][2010] - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51-bbIrKFGL.jpg) ![Joanna Lumley's Nile [DVD][2010] - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61sTT77T3BL.jpg) ![Joanna Lumley's Nile [DVD][2010] - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81MrFBNm3JL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Incredible series *by G***R on 16 October 2018* I loved every minute of this programme.

Such a wonderful production that has tempted me to purchase the other DVDs of her other travels such as 'India' and 'The Silk Route' as seen by me during my World Travels. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tw/products/62208505-joanna-lumleys-nile-dvd-2010](https://www.desertcart.tw/products/62208505-joanna-lumleys-nile-dvd-2010) --- *Product available on Desertcart Taiwan* *Store origin: TW* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
