Managed to pack my bike on my own—wahoo! Can’t wait to unpack this in Cairo and find out whether I did well enough to keep things safe, or screwed up big time. Fingers crossed for now!

How to save TDA’s cycling route for offline map viewing

December 24, 2016 Leave a Comment 1729 Views

Hello fellow riders! While setting up my interactive map for this blog, I’ve learnt that it’s very easy to save the TDA cycling route onto our smartphones for offline viewing. I thought you might also want to do so. The same, by the way, applies to all cycling or other routes created in Google My Maps. If you haven’t done...

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.
