Sudan Video—unembellished footage of what it’s really like

January 28, 2018 4 Comments 4077 Views

It’s a year since we crossed the Sahara and tried to stay cool in 40-50° Celsius. Finally, here’s a video to show you what it was like. This is the real thing, including my footage from both good and bad times. Enjoy 😉

    Hello Alex,

    I just came across your side and have already half of all your blogs. Fascinating! And a great video on Sudan. Usually you only see all the fun.
    One question I have for you: how did you bike perform? Did you like it?

      Hi Victor,
      thanks for your feedback, happy you like the blog.
      I liked my bike and would buy it again. It was sturdy & perfect to get through all terrains. Though nobody else in our group seemed to particularly like it – too big and heavy – so that’s really only my subjective view.

    Hi Alex,

    Thanks for the awesome video, was grinning. I did the TDA Madagascar in 2019 and recently signed up for Africa full in Jan 2023, so am gathering all information…. prepare the mind.

    How did you manage to charge ipad/phone during the trip?

    Cheers, Stephen

      Hi Stephen,

      So cool! I’m almost jealous you’re still having this amazing journey ahead of you 😉

      To answer your question, check this article: https://kilimanjaro-uncovered.com/solar-panels-and-battery-packs-for-climbing-kilimanjaro-my-recommendation/

      It’s on my Kilimanjaro blog, but also explains my recommendations for TDA.

      Hope it helps!
      Alex

LET ME HELP YOU EXPLORE AFRICA

I found my purpose while cycling through Africa: To help you too experience the beauty of this continent and the warmth of its people – safely and responsibly.

At Fair Voyage, we partner with local sustainability leaders to curate socially and environmentally responsible travel experiences. You get personal travel advice directly from local experts and tailor-made trips crafted just for you. Tell us your trip ideas to speak to your advisor today.

Before cycling through Africa, I climbed Mount Kilimanjaro, became aware of the exploitation of porters working on the mountain, and wrote the book Kilimanjaro Uncovered.

Appalled by the continuing exploitation of human life in travel, I partnered with the Kilimanjaro Porters Assistance Project (KPAP) and volunteered with them as advisor and board member to help make a difference.

At Fair Voyage, we treat our porters fairly, which also leads to a safer and more enjoyable experience for our travelers. See what our travelers say.

Climb Kilimanjaro

Been to the top of Africa yet? I’d be excited to help make this happen for you. Ask to speak to your Kilimanjaro advisor today!
