There is a variety of guided tours that you can choose from
according to your preference and budget. Some of the places that you can visit
are A Home To Head For is something of a marathon, not for the reader, but for
the author, Eric Olverson. To be accurate, Eric's tale is significantly more
than a literal marathon, about twelve thousand kilometres more, in fact,
because Eric's tale describes how he cycled the length of Africa.
Tour d'Afrique (TDA for short) is an outfit that assists those
wanting to cycle a long way - a very long way. Starting in Cairo, Egypt, Danakil depression Tour their route heads south via Sudan, Ethiopia, Kenya,
Tanzania, Malawi, Zambia, Botswana and Namibia before reaching its destination
of Cape Town in South Africa. Eric Olverson's handlebar-mounted computer
recorded a distance of 12,009 kilometres - including a detour or lost route or
two along the way - which, in any language or circumstance, is a long way. It's
even further when much of it is across desert, or on dirt roads strewn with
stones and pocked with potholes. In Eric's case, the achievement goes way
beyond even this. Trekking

Eric embarked upon the four month endeavour at the age of 59, having
recently been seriously ill with bacterial meningitis and having lost bladder
function as a result, causing him to require the use of catheters. If such
facts are offered as detail, one must conclude that Eric must have been
intensely motivated even to consider the challenge of cycling the length of
Africa. And the fact that the motivation was to assist something outside of an
unrelated to himself adds sincere respect to the awe felt at his achievement.
The motivation came from a desire to raise funds for a children's
home called Thamsanqa in Motherwell in South Africa's Eastern Cape. Eric
visited in 2008, was impressed with what he saw and resolved to assist. Already
a keen cyclist, a devotee of the mountain roads near his home in Spain, Eric
latched onto the idea of a sponsored bike ride. And it's not many of those that
cover 12,000 kilometres! So, along with numerous other enthusiasts, and under
the assisting wing of TDA, a company specialising in such cycling
"holidays", Eric set off from Cairo in a generally southerly
direction. Tribal Tour Ethiopia
The trip was organised so that the riders covered up to 200
kilometres a day, were generally fed from a support vehicle that preceded them
and camped in recognised camp sites, sometimes associated with small hotels.
Eric Olverson's book, A Home To Head For, and his blog, ericonhisbike, are
accounts of his trip. Indeed, anyone buying the book also donates to the
Thamsanqa orphanage.
A Home To Head For is not a travel book. Nor is it a description
of Africa as experienced as it was cycled. Neither, really, is it aimed at the
cycling enthusiast keen to learn the detail of the challenge. In some ways it
is more than any if these. The book is a tale of determination, Eric´s
insistence on completing the task to the best of his ability. That he rarely
allows doubt or low moments into the text is merely a reflection of how focused
he remained on his challenge.
