Biking Africa 2025
In 2025, I start my adventure of cycling the entire length of Africa. I'll be starting from Tangier, Morocco and cycling all the way to Cape Town, South Africa along the western side of the continent.
This page will document the planned route and gear I will be using. Later it will include the actual route taken, along with photos and highlights from the journey.
