- “At this point it’s in the hands of the gods. We can’t do any more preparation. So… it’s over to them. Let’s get on with it.”
This 25 minute film chronicles the 2019 Tour d'Afrique and the cycling participants that crossed Africa from Cairo to Cape Town. Broken into eight parts, the film tells the story of ordinary people stepping out of their comfort zones, setting aside their preconceptions, and challenging themselves like they've never done before.
They start their grand voyage from the Great Pyramids at Giza, down the Red Sea and alongside the Nile River. Entering Sudan, they traverse the desolate Nubian Desert to Khartoum. They soon reach the biblical Ethiopian Highlands, before tackling the infamous Blue Nile Gorge - possibly the toughest day of the whole tour. They continue south through the arid landscapes of southern Ethiopia and northern Kenya before crossing the equator in the shadow of Mt Kenya en route to Nairobi.
More details of the annual Tour d’Afrique can be found here: tdaglobalcycli...
Riders enjoy a safari break in Tanzania, visiting the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater, then tackle mud roads in the country's verdant isolated interior. After a thrilling descent passed tea and avocado plantations, Lake Malawi welcomes the cyclists to the 'Warm Heart of Africa'. Zambia's Great Eastern Road features rolling hills and small villages on long hot days en route to Mosi-oa-Tunya, "The Smoke that Thunders". Cyclists then cross the Zambezi River and are wowed by the sight of elephants along Botswana's flat highways skirting the edge of the Kalahari Desert.
In Namibia, riders spin on gravel roads through the scenic Namib Desert, and visit the incredible dunes at Sossusvlei, before entering South Africa en route to the finish line in Cape Town.

Well said. Did you go for it?
Amazing adventure cycling 💚🇧🇩
What a cool lifetime memory and accomplishment.
nice video to watch great you have cited the lost songs of Somalia like it.
Thank you. This is indeed a Somali song and the artist is credited in the TH-cam video description.
I had the honor to be one of the first team who works with TDA in Egypt through Emeco Travel in 2003 "tour d'afrique" for three years, what a great experience I have got. I was taking care of the transportation stages through the deferent cities of Egypt, starting from Giza pyramids until Abo simbel, Aswan.
5:44 I like the fact that entering Ethiopia and they put Somali Music. Love Africa collectively
It's okay Somali are Brothers 2.
I was thinking the same but it's fine
I bought an Electra Townie electric assist bicycle in March 2022 as an alternative means of transportation. I don't always use the electric assist function, but I am glad it is there when I want it. My alternate is now my main. I only drive my truck if my wife and I have to go somewhere together or if the weather is not favorable. I also lost 36 pounds in four months.
Beautiful. Can't believe there are so few views.
Thank you bbbart77, please feel free to share to your friends and family.
that girl singing at 13.10 has a really beautiful voice... picked a bantu dialect there. something along the lines of \Jesus be with you\. beautiful
If you think about resilience and endurance you think about this ...Congratulations guys im so inpired..
This looks amazing! I just did a 5 day, 615k ride along the Nakasendo in Japan and I'd love to do something like this ... more of a long journey.

Hello
I've been watching this routine for someone who was bike riding alone all along, yes he's a Legend ✊🏽
This in-depth look really puts into perspective just how crazy and amazing it was that Mark Beaumont did this self supported in only 45 days. Beastly.
Wow. Beautiful Africa, it sure is! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Nice, thanks for your videos, we will follow you!
Wow this was amazing! Love the contrast between the countries
Somalia 🇸🇴 music 🎶 to world 🌎
This is amazing and inspirational
Thank you!
So amazing such an insanely inspiring ride 😉
Thanks Jeff, we agree :)
These people do their visions. It would be a dream to be able to travel on my bike. Risk and fear of the unknown. I'ma stay in town I suppose.
Wonderful how you captured the change of atmosphere from country to another
Beautifully produced video!
All of you rock and have a rich experience of Africa. Thank you for sharing east part of Africa. Do you feel safe in all part of Africa? Did you face any issue with sickness or safety? This video looks encouraging,
The vast majority of people we meet are welcoming and curious. Our biggest fears around safety are usually car traffic. Also while travelling with a group and support team, people who are intimidated can feel reassured that there is a back up system in place in case of emergency.
Absolutely amazing journey. Great work guys
There isn't a future and there isn't a past. There is just the Road.
Somali music to the world
This is really amazing work!!
Great video. You guys are amazing.
Beautiful Africa. Amazing Tour.
This is on my bucket list also Spain to Peking China and back to france
Is this all there is? This looks like something that could have been made into a nice big series along the lines of Long Way Round. Love the concept but this video just glosses over what must have been an incredible journey.

How long did this whole trip take??? Looks amazing but extremely tedious
Hello Alex, the tour is 4.5 months long but there is also the option to do sections of it. You can learn more about it on our website tdaglobalcycling.com/tour-dafrique
Wow, this is amazing! The website doesn't currently show a price for the trip. How much is it? I guess something like €10-15k.
Hi Mike, prices will be posted in the next few days! Stay tuned or email us at info@tdaglobalcycling.com
$20,000 USD
That song playing background is Somali 🇸🇴 song 🎵

amzing
I heard the heat in Namibia is hellish. Hard to have enough bike water for.
Hi Kandi, the weather can be hot during the days but cools down a lot in the evenings. We ensure there is plenty of water available to all our riders along the way.
I have subscribed and will proceed to watch all yours videos. Premium content.
So I have been wanting to do a trip across Africa similar to this one but in a motored vehicle. How dangerous is it to cross the borders? What are the threats from governments, militaries, and any other local forces in the countries there?
did you intentionally avoid the main road in Tanzania?
we normally avoid major roadways if there is an alternative. Even if its unpaved or more hilly we prefer to choose the safer routes away from faster moving traffic.
I need some advices from your, if there is any way to talk with yours team
It can't possibly be true. They were picked up by a 4 X 4 pickup with caravan at night. Mostly being driven by that truck during the day too.
Good to hear some Kiwi accents in there! 8]
This video entertainment is below expectations, it could have been more beautiful if some station of stayed and some city and villages would have had been included together with what ever incidents came across during the course of this beautiful journey of 10 countries traveled 🧳
How many cyclists took part in expedition ?
Hi Anil, we had roughly 35 participants that year. The average each year is typically 30-40 completing the full tour.
@@tdacycling THAT IS REALLY 👍
The black Indian looking guy only appeared few times but he was there with you through out the trip, why?
Hi Zupta TV, this video does not feature all of the 75+ participants and staff, however you may be interested in these further videos which features more interviews and more participants from that particular tour. th-cam.com/video/Sesw9W6Lwnk/w-d-xo.html
do you think this is safe to do by yourself? i'd love to embark on this incredible journey but don't have the monetary means to join you guys!
Hi Caleb, you should do a great deal of research before embarking on any solo cycling tour. We can not advise if it is safe on your own.

Adventure
Living in the now.
Challenging
Why do most these roads look better than ours in the UK😂
Because the government put money into it and not into there Tory mates COVID companies lol
@@leonhenry4861 what does that mean ????
Because its the 21st century in Africa 😊
Your were done long time ago while ours are done though late but with modern technology
it's 5-months, 24k usd. Nice but super expensive and I guess you need to be retired or something. Some people do these self sustainable, it's even more of an adventure then.
at least its downhill😀
This is a global citizen project please somebody hook me up with all the cyclists who to took part we would like to invite them to our GREEN CYCLE TOUR AFRIKA-2030 activation campaign to come motivate young people to be part our mass participation- global warming initiatives across Afrika
t a bunch wealthy westerners "discovering" and "showing" to the world what it is like in Africa while they are on holidays!
