Hendrik "Hendri" Coetzee (c. 1975 – 7 December 2010) was a renowned South African outdoorsman and author. He was killed after being taken by a crocodile in December 2010.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Famed Outdoorsman Hendrik Coetzee in Croc Attack )〕 Coetzee gained prominence in 2004 leading a Nile River source-to-sea expedition, following in the path of John Goddard's expedition.〔John Goddard〕〔Goddard, John (1979). Kayaks down the Nile. Brigham Young University Press〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=River guide believed killed by crocodile in Congo )〕 The expedition set off from Lake Victoria in Uganda on 17 January, reaching Khartoum on 25 March and the Mediterranean Sea at Rosetta on 21 May. The purpose of the trip was to draw attention to the humanitarian situation in the region in partnership with CARE.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=South Africans join Nile team )〕 Following claims that the expedition had not begun from the true source of the Nile, Coetzee's party undertook a further journey from Kagera to Lake Victoria in April 2005, adding 750 km to the 6700 km they completed in 2004. Coetzee was leader of an expedition going from the source of the White Nile into the Congo at the time of the attack.〔 The trip was the first-of-its-kind kayaking expedition from the White Nile and Congo rivers into the Congo to explore the Ruzizi and Lualaba Rivers. The two other men on the trip, Americans and also experienced kayakers, were documenting unexplored whitewater and development projects in the region.〔〔''The Economist'', "Hendrik Coetzee", 1 January 2010, p. 78.〕 A memorial service for Coetzee was held on 28 January 2011. The documentary short film ''Kadoma'' about Coetzee was released in 2011. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hendrik Coetzee」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
