Motorbiking across Africa and stopping off at socialist Tanzania
It is something of a male rite of passage that at some point in your life you feel an overwhelming desire to cruise around the world on a back of a motorbike, Che Guevara-style. Few of us ever realise this dream; too many of us settle for more realistic aims, some of us pursue a different direction as a famous footballer with a page three model girlfriend, while I’m reserving all my hope for a radioactive spider to bite me. Regardless, there’s still something intrinsically inspiring about a trans-national motorbike tour, whatever waits for you at the end of your own private rainbow.
This is why I point you towards Nick Sanders, who’s cruising across Africa on the back of a Yamaha. His well-written, insightful blog paints a vivid picture of the nations he passes through, comparing the environmental, economical and political shifts as he traverses the second biggest continent in the world.
For Nick’s view on socialist Tanzania, rev your engines and power through this link.
