From the contrasts of Cape Town to the litter drifts of Libya, Joanne and Gareth Morgan and their team of World by Bikers rode 20,000 kilometers by motorcycle. They rode over rough roads and smooth, through rich nations and poor, past ruins ancient and modern, and loved every minute of it. They saw a true zebra crossing (along with several thousand of its mates). They were charged by elephants (and charged double by Egyptians). They had a gander at Uganda (and a wander in Rwanda). They dodged guerillas (and hung out with gorillas). They were in for a shock (or four) on Kenya’s road to hell…

Join the World by Bikers on their unforgettable four-month traverse of Africa. Hold on tight and brace yourself for one hell of a ride: part road-trip, part expedition to discover the truth inside the appeal envelopes of the international aid industry.
