Red Bull Media House’s Post

In a historic first, renowned kayakers Adrian Mattern, Dane Jackson, Kalob Grady, and Bren Orton achieved a groundbreaking feat by completing the first-ever descent of Gabon’s Ivindo River. This untamed waterway, one of Africa’s most mysterious natural wonders, presented the team with unforgiving rapids, including the mighty Kongou Falls' 3-kilometer-long cascade and the treacherous Tsengue Leledi. Documented in the thrilling new film Gabon Uncharted: Sending Ivindo Falls, now streaming on Red Bull TV, this 145-kilometer, 10-12 day journey showcases the team's incredible resilience, teamwork, and deep respect for the environment. Their expedition wasn’t just about conquering rapids; it was about preserving the pristine beauty of the Ivindo River. From navigating towering waterfalls to using cutting-edge drone technology, the team captured stunning visuals that highlight nature’s wild grandeur. This historic journey not only ushers in a new chapter in kayaking but also underscores the urgent need to protect Africa's most untouched landscapes.
