Africa Bikers Near Finish Line After 75-Day Charity Ride

A team of bikers has finished their 75-day journey around Africa, raising money for needy children's education. Led by Pastor Nick Korir from Nairobi Chapel, they started through Ethiopia toward Cape Town before heading west. Their adventure aimed to collect funds for the LOGOS Endowment Fund, which supports education for disadvantaged kids.

The group began their third leg on February 17, riding from Cape Town to Springbok, where local bikers welcomed them warmly. They crossed into Namibia during national mourning for founding father Sam Nujoma, with flags flying half-mast. The riders battled desert heat reaching 43°C, adopting early morning starts to avoid scorching temperatures.

In Windhoek, Kenya's Ambassador Michael Sialai greeted them, showing deep knowledge about Namibians. The later stages took them through coastal routes between golden dunes beside the Atlantic Ocean. The journey continued through Angola, where three ambassadors hosted them in Luanda before pushing onward through Congo Brazzaville, Cameroon, and Nigeria, ending in Senegal.

Three team members returned to Nairobi after completing 76 days of riding, shipping their bikes home as others prepared for the final leg. The remaining cyclists enjoyed four days in Dakar, watching motorcycle races, visiting Goree Island, and touring Lac Rose with local bikers. Their fundraising efforts continue through M-Pesa contributions.
