Ash Dykes’ Congo Basin expedition can be followed through his official social media accounts and website, where the adventurer is sharing updates from his journey along the Sangha River in Central Africa. The expedition is the opening mission of Project 6, an ambitious series of six adventures planned across 12 months, and has attracted attention as Dykes prepares to travel more than 700 kilometres through one of the world’s largest tropical rainforest regions.
For viewers hoping to watch the journey as it unfolds, the most important distinction is between following live updates and watching a continuous live broadcast. Dykes’ official Project 6 page identifies TikTok, Instagram and YouTube as the main channels for expedition coverage, but it does not establish that the entire river journey will be streamed live from start to finish. Anyone looking for real-time footage should therefore check his official accounts for livestream announcements rather than assume that every stage will be broadcast.
The best place to begin is Ash Dykes’ official Project 6 page. It explains the expedition, outlines the route and links directly to his social channels. The page describes TikTok as the quickest source for updates from the ground, including preparation, equipment, questions from followers and developments during the expedition. For viewers who want to keep up with changing circumstances rather than wait for a finished documentary, it is a useful starting point.
On TikTok, @ash_dykes, viewers can look for new videos, live broadcasts if announced, and updates from the team. Dykes has already used the platform to document the difficulties of reaching the expedition’s starting point, giving followers a view of the logistical challenges behind the adventure. His updates have included missing equipment, visa complications and delays on the journey into the Central African Republic.

@ash_dykes What I have named my kayak…well I should say what did you guys name my kayak…🛶
Instagram is another option. His official account, @ash_dykes, is intended for photographs and Stories, including updates that can help followers establish where he is and what is happening during the journey. Viewers who do not want to miss short updates can follow the account and check its Stories regularly. However, the availability and frequency of posts will depend on the conditions in the field.
For longer footage, viewers should subscribe to the Ash Dykes YouTube channel. The official Project 6 page identifies YouTube as the main destination for longer expedition films. This is likely to be the better option for audiences interested in detailed footage, extended accounts of the journey and edited films rather than brief social media clips. Viewers should check the channel for new uploads and any announcement of a live broadcast.
The expedition itself follows the Sangha River from Nola in the Central African Republic to Mossaka in the Republic of the Congo. Dykes plans to cover more than 700 kilometres, or over 400 miles, using an inflatable kayak. The journey forms the first instalment of Project 6, which is designed to take him through six extreme environments over 12 months. The route crosses a remote part of the Congo Basin, where dense rainforest, challenging river conditions and limited access to medical assistance make preparation and local knowledge especially important.
Getting to the river has already provided some indication of the difficulties involved. According to reporting by PEOPLE published on October 7, Dykes and his team faced missing luggage containing essential expedition equipment and problems with entry paperwork before reaching Nola. The team eventually arrived at the starting point after changing its overland route. These setbacks also illustrate why audiences should not expect a perfectly predictable stream of footage from a remote expedition.
The practical question for anyone hoping to watch the expedition live is whether Dykes can maintain a connection while travelling through the rainforest. The official Project 6 page promises updates from the field, but it does not guarantee uninterrupted live coverage. Viewers should distinguish between a scheduled livestream, a short video uploaded during the journey and footage published after the team has moved on. Each offers a different level of immediacy, and a post appearing during the expedition does not necessarily mean it was broadcast in real time.
Ash Dykes Faces Life-Threatening Risks on His 434-Mile Congo Basin Expedition
To follow the journey as closely as possible, start with the official Project 6 page, follow Dykes on TikTok and Instagram, and subscribe to YouTube for longer films. Check his accounts for any confirmed livestream dates, times or links, and use the official website to verify announcements rather than relying on reposted clips or unverified streaming links. His website also offers an email newsletter for expedition news and new film announcements.
The Congo Basin expedition is not simply a test of endurance. Dykes’ stated plans include documenting the communities who live along the river, their knowledge of the rainforest, and the environmental pressures affecting the region. Following the journey through his official channels should give audiences opportunities to see not only the physical challenge of travelling hundreds of kilometres by kayak, but also the landscape and people encountered along the way. Whether live footage is available at a particular moment will depend on what the team can transmit from the field.
