- After Asia, this is the first half of a cycling journey across the African continent from Cairo to Cape Town.
NOTE: This video was down for a while due to the rascals in the music industry and their Copyright crime against regular people. The video is back but without the original music. I replaced the
Song: Kothbiro by Ayub Ogada (wonderful) with some Free RUclips one that won't last the whole video, thus the rest is silent. Sorry about this. I have no time to revamp it and reupload. If you wish, play the original in the background while you watch this one :)

Truly all Africa looks the same. One land, one people one destiny. You are a great Man. Thanks.
This is the true magnitude of being a human! A citizen of the World! A free spirit! Human strength in motion! After all, it doesn't look like a 'Fallen World' if we do the right thing to do: Live, Love, Laugh!
what a wisdom and intelligence word, when I read a such comments I get a hope that this world there is people with a good faith and at least a real human being, your word inspire me to do the right thing at the right time, hope you are safe and wellbeing
Well said....well said indeed...
En medio de la pandemia del Corona Virus, te he visto mas de mil veces en tus recorridos por Africa, y en todas ella no dejo de maravillarme con tus viajes......qué manera de ser feliz!!!! no te canses nunca de serlo por favor......vive y sé feliz...esa sea tu consigna de vida.
Muchísimas gracias Juan Carlos por este y todos tus demás comentarios. Efectivamente, hasta en los momentos más aparentemente duros me cuesta muchísimo no sonreír, porque amo la aventura y tengo la enorme fortuna en este mundo de poder elegir. No todo fue color de rosa claro, pero yo he elegido estar en cada una de estas situaciones y por eso sonrío. Uno de los mayores aprendizajes de mi vida hasta hoy es el de saber que poder elegir, en este mundo, es uno de los mayores privilegios que podemos tener, por eso, no veo motivo alguno por el cual no sonreír. He sido muy afortunado y vivo eternamente agradecido por tener la vida que tengo. Nada puede borrar esa sonrisa:)
Nicolás....No te molestes en responderme, pero déjame decirte que eres un ejemplo de vida por tu actitud humilde ante la vida y por tu respeto por las personas y sus modos de vida. Leí en voz alta tu episodio al llegar a Lesotho, cuando la tormenta cayó sobre ti y la muerte te rondó...pero la reflexión final no la pude leer en voz alta y sencillamente me emocionó. Que maravillosa vida has vivido. Felicitaciones!!!!
NOT REAL ...YOU ARE SO RICH IN YOUR HEART ABOUT ALL THE JOURNEY...
Great video - Brings back happy memories of cycling much of the same route in 2006/2007 :)
My favorite video so far.Can't wait to see what's next.
Que gran hombre... Enhorabuena! Sigue con las fuerzas que siempre debes tener para superar todo!! Gran video!!!!!!
NIVAspiritBCN Muchísimas gracias por tan hermosas palabras!

No puedo parar de llorar viendo esto.....Suerte de corazón en todas tus aventuras.
After watching this breathtaking viedo, I couldn't say a world for a long time. The life you choose to live, so simple but extremely rich. No life in the city can compare with yours. One day, I'm going to chasing your steps and feel the world like you did.
Yes
Amazing journey, just wonderful!

Nicolas, que increíble! Totalmente inspirado, yo soy Colombiano y estoy planeando recorrer Mongolia a China el año que viene, tus vídeos son fuente de energía, buen viaje!
Was wondering where this one went. Figured it had to be copyright foolishness. Glad I downloaded the original. Looking forward to your next adventure(s).
Amazing! I am inspired. Thanks for the captivating video and great shots! Keep on doing what you are doing!
Awesome. Just awesome. Love it!
Excelentísimo viaje, Nicolás! Las mismas lágrimas, a la distancia y sin haber pedaleado, me corrieron acá! Gracias por compartir, por hacernos "vivenciar" este viaje. Y por dejarnos conocer África. Abrazo!
Javier Barreiro Qué emoción me da leer tu comentario Javier! Muchísimas gracias! :)
i'm watching this again and again.......wow, great! your travel is better than bear grylls:):):)
+nika leladze hahah you are totally right ! :)
estoy en el laburo mirando tus videos de contrabando..me emocioné con tus palabras cuando llegaste a Cape Town ...sos un groso chabon !
btw: the song was perfect: "Kothbiro" by Ayuba Ogada.
Beautiful! I feel a bit nostalgic after watching your video. I did something similar about 15 years ago but much shorter though and I kind of miss this pure freedom...
When you struggle to keep your hat on your head because of head wind, keep the brim down at the front and turn it up at the back.
Dutourdumonde Photography I'm still on the way and I can already imagine the feeling. I don't even want to think about it now eheheh.
I tried absolutely everything for the hat, but nothing really works when the wind is so insane.....at least not with the cheap hats. :(
wooooow The greatest trip ، Congratulations bro 💗💗💗🌍
Bravo pour ce voyage en velo j'ai beaucoup apprécié à bientôt merci beaucoup
Ah semian mountains Omo valley! Incredible trip! Hope someday I can also do it!
Thank you, man.
This video inspired me, to expolre this amazing continent on my own.
With a bicycle of course.
I'm very glad it did! Thank you for watching!
Amazing scenery, thanks for sharing. It took me a while to understand why you carry the bamboo stick, hahaha.
hahaha, the bamboo stiick is the bicycle stand but it is also a weapon hahah. Wild dogs, drunks, stupid people... it also serves as pole to mount the mosquito net, selfie stick for the camera and so many other uses really. I couldn't really live without it. :)
amazing!
Waiting for more bike travel videos...
Thanks for sharing
saludos from Barcelona
Michael
This is without a doubt the best bike touring video ive seen! Never knew Africa was so beautiful... How do you stay safe traveling like this? With all the animals, etc?

Ayuba Ogada - Kothbiro
I have enjoyed watching your travels. Can you say to me what brand and model those handle bars are?
thanks! They are a generic brand, made in China. It's the butterfly design but I love this one because it's smaller than the usual butterfly ones which are much bigger.
I have accommodate my bike with bars similar, but only larger. Ergotec brand. Of German company. 200 km of training I rode. There is much a lot of comfort. To change hand places is wonderful. My shoulders and arms feel as they can go all day to keep with my legs. Gracias.
@@Hootyhoo-jq9vq fantastic! I'm glad it worked for you. The butterfly design is the best for me too :)
hola alucinante tu video muy padre y que viaje excelente
todo el video lo grabaste con una go pro?
+José Luis Zárate Rodríguez Muchas gracias :) Sí, casi todo con una GoPro Hero 2, hasta donde ves en el video que se rompe. De ahí hasta el final con el Ipod Touch. Para toda la mitad oeste de Africa, usé la GoPro Hero4. Pero todavía no he subido nada de eso, porque estoy aún a 2 semanas de llegar a Europa. .... luego con tiempo haré la parte 2. (Te la recomiendo de ante mano :) )
Awesome
Great video.. :)

the was a song/music Ayuba Ogada - Kothbiro
LIke from Azerbajan!
Do you have this uploaded elsewhere by any chance? Pity about the lack of sound.
Edward Yeboah unfortunately not. The audio used to be there. They removed it recently.
Hola, muchas gracias por compartir, es fascinante. Tu sitio web es increíble, :) estoy planeando mi ruta igual ja ja, seguro tienes mucho de este tipo de preguntas. Qué fechas estuviste en Tanzania, Burundi y Rwanda, tengo conflictos con comentarios encontrados de las fechas, veo caminos lodosos, estuviste en época de lluvias?
Muchas gracias Jossue! En esos tres países pasé entre octubre y noviembre. Época de polvo, no de barro pero eso es sólo un problema si vas remoto como ves en el video. Y el polvo o barro es un problema en el oeste de Tanzania en el único camino que marcha casi paralelo al lago Tanganika desde la frontera con Burundi/Kasulu hasta Tunduma. Son 1000 km eternos y duros, asi nada de agua y con poco y nada para ver. Un amigo los hizo entre marzo y mayo y sufrió muchísimo el barro. En mi blog puedes leer las historias completas de esa parte nicoviajerosolitario.blogspot.com
hey dude , love your vids , thinking of doing a trip from capetown to cairo, hoping to start Febuary , Any recommendations on weather during this period ?
Great video!! Do you have a map of th route you took?
Nicolas great video. One of the best on cycle touring. No, wait, the best. Are you riding solo now?
Thanks a lot Alex. Yes, I've been left alone for almost two years now.....so I've been back to solo like it was for the 16 years before :)
amazing!
how much did it cost?
What bike do you use?
Amazinggg
Imperdonable que RUclips le quitara el audio!!
What camera/s did you use?
Buenos videos!!! Con qué gopro los grabaste?
precioso!
COOOL ! thanks for sharing :) what is withe your weehl broken ?
wsdrbap hey, thanks! The wheel I carry is a spare. By the time my current rear wheel breaks, I will be somewhere in the middle of nowhere and far from finding any possible quality wheel, let alone a professional wheel builder.
ahh ok :) thanks for reply :)
how do you bike in africa? you bring your own bike?
Despues de todo esto que?....soy una argentina que te re admira
😃 muchísimas gracias Ana! Después de todo eso vinieron estos últimos años de estabilidad y mayor predictibilidad, pero en cualquier momento los vuelvo a cortar para volver a la incertidumbre de la aventura jejejeje. Ya veremos! Gracias por comentar y me alegro muchísimo que te gusten los videos. Tengo planeado hacer una nueva serie en estos meses que siguen.
Africa is so beautiful! Did you get to meet the Boko Haram?
keep going Nicolás
shame about the no audio thing! Looks amazing brother
great work nicolas I want to know this music name
+Yusuf MANSIZ thanks Yusuf, the name is written in the caption of the video.
I think your travel partner was camera shy. Supportive too👍
Do you have Instagram..?
She was very supportive but not much into being on camera. I made this video after she broke up with me, that's why she isn't there, out of respect for her privacy.
My Instagram is @80.lives
@@80livesohhk..I hope she also completed her journey. no matter what happens still you guys have great memories with eachother❤️
did you have some contact with wild animals?
es um hombre, como yo, fedor!
Hola amigo ! Por favor, ¿cuál es el peligro real de ser que el ataque de un león que viaja por carreteras africanas? Un abrazo desde Brasil!
Olá! Voçe pode falar em português amigo, eu não entendi sua pergunta. Você quer saber se os ataques dos leöes realmente ocorrem ? Sim, ocorrem ocasionalmente. Há certas regiões que são especialmente muito perigosos, onde passei muito medo. Botswana, Namibia, oeste do Tanzania e Kenya são particularmente perigosos. Mesmo fora da minha tenda tive leões à noite en Namibia. Também elefantes e hienas e cobras, mas o animal mais perigoso de toda africa é o mosquito!
Obrigado por responder ! Penso em dar a volta ao mundo de bicicleta cortando cabelo. Sou barbeiro. Mas tenho 37 anos...será que estou velho para isso ?
Can I do this at age 65? I exercise riding bike. My back is bad, but I can ride bike. With a light load I average about 13 Km's per hour, meaning one Ortlieb bag full weighing about 11 kilos. Would it be expensive to ship my bike to Africa or buy one there? I only have $683 US dollars per month on my Social Security. Thanks for such a great video!
ABSOLUTELY! You can definitely do this if you are decently fit. I've met lots of men above 60 cycling the world and they only get stronger every day. Much more than physical strength you'll need mental strength and most importantly: patience. You need to cultivate patience, with yourself and toward others. My budget for africa was around 3500 USD per year, so if you don't fancy lots of luxuries and you enjoy simplicity, I'll go on a limb and say you can retire in Africa cycling with that amount of money you receive. haha!
As far as gear goes, you will definitely need to take everything with you from home, unless you start in South Africa, in which case you'd be able to buy everything. Depending on where you are from this can be more or less expensive. Just make sure that whatever way your fly into africa, you don't get screwed by the airline. Make sure you check the airlines policies for baggage and sports equipment. I flew a lot with about 75 kilos in total including the bicycle and I have never ever paid a cent, but it takes a lot of research, since airlines make it very difficult. I highly suggest you reading my full AFRICA Q&A article on my web www.nicolasmarino.com where you'll find answers to pretty much everything you need to know.
There's also a full article for bicycle gear too. HOpe this helps!
@@80lives Greetings Nicolas! Very nice of you to take your precious time to answer and your encouragements! I will for sure go to your site. I will first, since I'm in the states, maybe go by bus once I'm in Mexico. Since I'm already in line with South America I thought I'd first return to a village I was in during a University study in the Sierra Madre del Sur Mountains with the Zapotec people, and to a small fishing village I stayed in on the Pacific coast and with the Lacandon Maya where I stayed, then through Central America to South America and all over that continent. I think instead of flying west, then I'll fly east maybe on a standby flight or cheapest way possible to Capetown. I better not try to describe everything... I heard vaccinations here can cost $1,000 and I simply don't have the money to do that, yet my immune system isn't top of the line either. I wonder if I could get the same Center for Disease Control "CDC" vaccinations in Mexico for much less. I guess one must have a universal return home airline ticket too, good for all over the world, right? I am in much better than average shape compared to others my age, except for my back issues, yet I can ride bike well if I just plod along at an easy pace. I also found out, being vegetarian, that all my arteries are clear -- cardiac, corotid and adjacent arteries (juggler?), even MRI of my brain, all good! I use studded tires and ride in the winter too. I've never gone on bike trips, yet I've hauled 60 lbs of groceries... in my nice Ortlieb bags. I wish I could bring my guitar, but have to give that up. I don't own anything, never have, but some books and a few instruments. Not owning anything I also don't have any debts ha! When my back was better I camped and hiked a lot in various wildernesses, and I hitched all over Europe when I was young and lived there for a year. Patience is a virtue and I felt I attained it when I became a "CNA" or "Certified Nursing Assistant". Too verbose once again ha! Carpe Diem!
@@mwj5368 It's more than a pleasure to share and help in any way I can. You'll enjoy the articles in my web since they have a lot of info you want to know. Also, aside from the articles, there's the blog in which i share all the stories on the road. Funnily enough, it's been 3 years since I finished the trip and I haven't finished with the African stories, but I'm getting there :)
After your description, I can tell you that Africa is the place for you. You just simply fall for the simplicity of life and the warmth of the people (it's all not rose coloured though, they can seriously get in your nerves, but my memories are 99% love and affection).
Don't get vaccines in the US, or any medicines for what it's worth, never, ever! Forget it. If you start in Cape Town, get them all there at a fraction of the cost in the US, or if you start in Morocco perhaps you can fly to Spain first and get them there. Morocco can be a good place though for vaccines and all. Both Spain and Cape Town can be good places to get a decent bike and at a reasonable price. Of course Mexico is sure a better place for vaccines!
In any case, hope you enjoy the preparations :)
Старик, ты крут!
god speed
Great man! But how do you get your foods?
Hi, Nicolás. Let me ask you something: how was for you cycling across the whole Africa, once you knew that you might be in contact with wild animals while in a bicycle? Do you ever got afraid of being "attacked" by a lion or something? I do want to do a travel like you do, but i'm afraid that cycling in Africa would be a quite dangerous because of the wild life around me. How did you dealed with that? Thanks for helping me!
Bom día Anna! voçe prefere falar em inglês o prefere português? eu não tenho nemhum problema de falar umo u outro . De onde é voçe? . I knew from the very beginning that I would encounter wild animals in Africa, for sure. It's a fact of life in any African adventure, and I go very remote so yes, I came in direct contact with them sometimes on a daily basis. I even had up to 6 lions surrounding my tent at night in Namibia, so you can imagine, it can get really scary sometimes. Well...there are plenty of precautions and measures you can take in order to avoid getting eating or killed by them but in the end, you never know, the risk is always there. I can also tell you that there are much worse dangers than big animals. For example, snakes and scorpions, but to be honest, the worst danger isn't any of them, the worst danger is malaria mosquitoes, black flies carrying riverblindness worms, and so many other tiny bugs that can ruin your life and kill you in a much faster and efficient way. This video shows only the first half of Africa, i'm working on the second half video now, which was much more extreme than what you see here. Drop me an email or write me through FB if you'd like to talk at length .
+Nicolás Marino Oi Nicolas, obrigada por me responder! Se me permite escolher, prefiro falar em português, sou brasileira :). Acredito que você tenha esclarecido um pouco a minha dúvida, mas já que perguntou, abaixo envio o meu email. Estou iniciando nesse mundo das cicloviagens, tenho muita vontade de sair viajando de bicicleta por aí, assim como tenho muitas dúvidas. Agora já é tarde por aqui, mas ficaria muito feliz se pudéssemos conversar mais a respeito amanhã ou depois. Muito obrigada pela ajuda!
email: anna.djamila@gmail.com
p.s.: já o sigo no instagram e facebook, poderemos conversar por lá também!😃
@@80lives And how did you prepare yourself not getting ill on malaria and other diseases. Did you take some vaccines before you had started your africa journey?
