I Cycled on the Ethiopian Motorway to Avoid Deadly Guerilla Fighters
EP.03 After battling through thunderstorms, brutal hills, traffic chaos and dangerous regions, I had to make an alternative plan to stay safe. I'm on a mission to journey entirely by human-power from the lowest point in Africa to the highest: Lac Assal, Djibouti (-160m), to Kilimanjaro, Tanzania (5895m).

      Thank you David, much appreciated. This was shot in November 2017. The region is of course very volatile for many reasons, including the volcano. I don't have any current information. But I'd recommend reaching and consulting with Virunga National Park directly. They'll have the most up to date info. Hope this helps! Incredible place

    Interesting, I was in Uzbekistan 5 month ago. The situation was not nearly as bad for me as you described yours. I flew in through Samarkand and left through the land border to Kazakhstan. Though at the land border the guards tried to take our cash the country itself was very nice and welcoming. Didn't feel like the authorities were giving us a particular hard time for central asian standards. Though on that note I know the tajik border is a little more spicy regarding said drug trafficking(Similar to the Afghan border). Also they accepted Master Cards in every major city I was. Overall the situation under the new government seems to be considerably less tense..

      Good to hear that you had an overall positive experience Max! I agree, having been back to Uzbekistan in the years since this, the country has definitely improved for the better. Despite this incident, I met so many amazing Uzbek people who could not have been more hospitable.

    • @Oli_France
      @Oli_France 7 місяців тому

      Thank you! Much appreciated. I didn't have any stomach issues on this expedition, but was very selective about what I was eating. Being on a narrow time frame, I simply couldn't afford to be ill. I've certainly had my fair share of issues in the past. In the worst case, I ended up with shigella and meningitis after a trip to Somalia in 2019!
