Adventurer completes 400-mile expedition after losing contact with team

Dykes was joined on his trek by local guide Obed Temba Tuyumvire as well as videographer Will Perez, who has been helping chart the journey with regular social media posts.

His popularity on TikTok has soared following his latest adventure.

Dykes said: "It felt like the world was on the river with us."

But he added some followers were disappointed in the lack of drama.

"Everyone wanted that excitement, that danger, but if something was to happen, I'd be criticised: 'this is dangerous'.

"Now that I've made it unscathed, everyone's like: 'It's easy, there were no crocs'.

"So there's no true winning when you go that viral."
