After a break doing bike repairs back home in the States, we flew ourselves and our motorcycle to Cape Town to start our great African journey. We zoomed pass elephants, came face to face with lions, and even got stuck in East Africa during the Covid-19 pandemic. But that didn't stop us, and we still hope to keep going!

South Africa

In September of 2019, we flew ourselves and the motorcycle to Cape Town, and after un-crating the bike (and learning how to ride on the opposite side of the road), we headed out to explore penguin bays, baboon valleys, and dragon mountains.

Lesotho

As we entered Lesotho, also known as the Kingdom in the Sky, we swerved along its curvy mountain roads and dipped into its pastoral valleys filled with cattle and majestically cloaked shepherds.

Namibia

The deep Namibian sands were not friendly to our monoshock, which we unfortunately broke. But waiting for parts gave us the opportunity to rent a car and explore some the country on four wheels instead of two.

Uganda

As the coronavirus pandemic gripped the globe, we found ourselves stuck in Uganda for seven months as the borders closed around us. But with perfect weather, friendly people, and every type of fruit you could ever dream of, Uganda turned out to be a home away from home.
