The last line indicated excercebates to the underlying tension in the scene.
Salak had purposed in her mind to journey down the Timbuktu river in Africa.
Prior to this scene, she had been advised severally by her guide who even at this point (which is at the edge of the river) says he is unable to proceed any further. According to the narratives, no man had ever completed neither had any woman.
The odds were not in her favour at all.

Cheers!
