Spencer Conway 'Adventure Motorcyclist’ is attempting an epic solo trip around Africa on his Yamaha XT660 Tenere.
Episode 3 (of 6) - After 95 Days on the road, Spencer's next leg of his journey is through Mozambique, Swaziland, South Africa and Namibia.
Spencer makes good time riding through Mozambique and experiencing their low-budget accommodation. He crosses the border into the small country Swaziland and then onto South Africa. As this is the least challenging leg of the journey he hastily rides across the Karoo Desert to Cape Town the halfway point of his epic journey.
Leaving Cape Town Spencer starts his return journey. After a night in Springbok he enters Namibia and catches up with his friend Carl who hitches a lift on the back of the bike. They stop at the spectacular Fish River Canyon and then on see the unusual Quiver Tree Forest
Spencer starts to get an infection in his foot, so makes his way to Windhoek, the capitol, for treatment and to acquire visas for Angola and Democratic Republic of Congo. Leaving Windhoek they make their way to the notorious skeleton coast and come across a huge seal colony. Leaving the Skeleton Coast they head inland to the border crossing with Angola, spending their last night in Namibia sheltering from the rain in a toilet.
This series follows Spencer on his remarkable journey, circumnavigating Africa unsupported through 34 countries and covered a staggering 55,345 km.
This monumental undertaking tests Spencer’s physical endurance, challengeds his determination and ultimately put shis life at risk.
Without a support vehicle or team, Spencer’s low budget, low tech and light-weight approach means he is forced to sleep rough, eat whatever is available and navigate by crude maps and local knowledge. Despite numerous bureaucratic hassles, extreme conditions and a near fatal shooting, Spencer overcomes the difficulties and experiences the beauty of Africa; from deserts to jungles and savannahs.
This series records his remarkable journey, capturing the essence of the freewheeling adventurer and intimate moments of euphoria, exhaustion and fear.
