The Nile River

Although the Nile river is famous for establishing the ancient civilization in Egypt, it is one of those bodies of water that you shouldn’t swim in. You may wonder why. Well, it is mainly because of the presence of crocodiles in the river. Crocodiles may not be the most dangerous in the animal kingdom, but they are one of those that have the ability to kill you. The number of incidents of crocodile attacks in the north African Nile is around 100 per year! This is quite a large number compared to shark attacks which only amounts to approximately 16 per year. So, if you have an innate fear of the said creatures and would rather live with all your limbs still attached to your body, then we suggest that you avoid swimming in the Nile at all costs. The next place will make you consider how good your swimming skills are…
