Eighteen countries. Five shock absorbers.
Two bikers. One amazing adventure...
After their fantastic trip round the world in 2004, fellow
actors and bike fanatics Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman couldn't
shake the travel bug. Inspired by their UNICEF visits to Africa,
they knew they had to go back and experience this extraordinary
continent in more depth.
And so they set off on their 15,000-mile journey with two new
BMWs loaded up for the trip. Their route took them from John
O'Groats at the northernmost tip of Scotland to Cape Agulhas on the
southernmost tip of South Africa.
Along the way they rode some of the toughest terrain in the
world -- and met some of the friendliest people. They rode their
bikes right up to the pyramids in Egypt and visited Luke
Skywalker's house in Tunisia. They met people who had triumphed
over terrifying experiences -- former childhood soldiers in Uganda
and children living amidst the minefields of Ethiopia. They had a
close encounter with a family of gorillas in Rwanda and were nearly
trampled by a herd of elephants in Botswana.
Riding through spectacular scenery, often in extreme
temperatures, Ewan and Charley faced their hardest challenges yet.
With their trademark humor and honesty they tell their story -- the
drama, the dangers and sheer exhilaration of riding together again,
through a continent filled with magic and wonder.
