As you travel Africa, you will find the way of ubuntu u the
universal bond that connects all of humanity as one.' At the age of
twenty-eight, while sitting in a friend's backyard in the remote
mining township of Jabiru, Heather Ellis has a light-bulb moment-
she is going to ride a motorcycle across Africa. The idea just
feels right u no matter that she's never done any long-distance
motorcycle travelling before, and has never even set foot on the
African continent. Twelve months later, Heather unloads her Yamaha
TT600 at the docks in Durban, South Africa, and her adventure
begins. Her travels take her to the dizzying heights of Mt
Kilimanjaro and the Rwenzori Mountains, to the deserts of northern
Kenya where she is befriended by armed bandits and rescued by
Turkana fishermen, to a stand-off with four Ugandan men intent on
harm, and to a voyage on a 'floating village' on the mighty Zaire
River. Everywhere she goes Heather is aided by locals and
travellers alike, who take her into their homes and hearts, helping
her to truly understand the spirit of ubuntu u a Bantu word meaning
'I am because you are'. Ubuntu is the extraordinary story of a
young woman who, alone and against all odds, rode a motorcycle to
some of the world's most remote, beautiful and dangerous places.
