Some of you have asked me to also share audio files so you can hear the sounds. Well, that’s a bit difficult while cycling—all you can hear on the GoPro is wind noice. However, I got this special treat for you—come join us life in the bustling Dongola market street. 🙂

Acclimatizing in Dubai

December 24, 2016 Training 2 Comments 1722 Views

  Admittedly, the temperature in Dubai in winter is rather pleasant. Neither did I cycle hard enough that it might qualify as proper training. However, cycling in Dubai helped me test my gear and get used to my new gadgets. For example, I learnt that tablets aren’t powerful enough for video editing. So, to my wallet’s...

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!
