Just thought I will revive this tread that my son and I did in 2010-2011. On this trip I fell off the bike 16 times and my son fell 21 times. Enjoy the read.


My son Juan 31 and myself 60 at the time travelled through 7 countries along the 4 big lakes. We travelled through Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Malawi, Tanzania, Kenya, back to Tanzania on a different route and onto Mozambique and back to Johannesburg. On the trip we travelled along Lake Kariba, Lake Malawi, Lake Tanganyika and Lake Victoria. We also travelled past the Serengeti, Masai Mara, Ngoro Ngoro, and Kilimanjaro. We also visited the Island of Zanzibar. The total distance was 13 350 KM. I used the same bike on my trip to Egypt and back than on this trip, I only changed the colour from black to red before my across Africa trip.
