This story is about a father and his son, an expert and a novice, embarking on an arduous and grueling four month motorcycle journey to the equator, and back! Departing from South Africa on January 2nd 2008, the journey will span over seven thousand miles through ten unique countries. Ken and Mike's stories and photographs will capture a part of African culture and travel that is perhaps not usually seen in the media. It will be a mix of youth and wisdom from two travellers, about African life, up close and personal, by motorcycle.You can use this website as a resource to learn about African life through our daily blog and photographs. Further, you can use our donation page, thats the JustGiving widget over there, to support our charity, Riders for Health, who directly use your funds to improve the transportation systems in place to provide millions of Africans with health care.
