Spencer Conway set out on a solo circumnavigation of Africa on a Yamaha XT660Z Tenere. Travelling down the continent via the east coast and returning via the west we pick up Spencer as he heads north and enters Angola.
As of this morning, I’ve spent 167 days attempting to circumnavigate Africa. After riding down the east coast, I literally turned round at the southernmost point of the continent and have now travelled through 16 countries and covered 31,050 kilometres. And whilst it is almost impossible to have a dull moment in this continent, I’ve now stumbled upon the two most exciting, confusing and visually stimulating countries so far: Angola and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
