Mario Rigby Spent 912 Days Walking Across Africa 

Crossing Africa is a once in a lifetime solo expedition by Mario Rigby to trek across the entire African continent from Cape Town, South Africa to Cairo, Egypt by foot and paddle boat only.
This is a rigorous two year journey that will cover uncharted terrain while covering 12 countries and a diverse range of environments, including deserts, jungles, and areas of civil unrest.
Mario began his journey in Cape Town, South Africa in November 2015, walking up to 50 klms a day, while traveling through Mozambique, Malawi, Tanzania, Kenya, Ethiopia and Sudan and ending at his destination of Cairo, Egypt in February 2018.
Thanks for watching.
★★ WHY DO THIS? ★★
● To fulfill a burning drive for exploration and adventure and re-enforce my belief in humanity, all while testing my body and mind to the absolute limit.
● Inspire: The drive for curiosity and exploration is vanishing in today's fast-paced and digital world. I think unlike past generations, more people are hesitant to venture out and meet strangers. We are all filled with unimaginable potential -- perhaps my adventure inspired others to move away from their comfort zones and unleash theirs.
● Not only was it an exploration of the land, it’s also a genuine interest of the people within it, and to learn from them.
● Only a few have done it from Cape Town to Cairo, and they have been westerners. I wanted to take on a modern challenge and show Africa in a way that’s unique by walking side-by-side with Africans, staying where they stay.
● I wanted to explore the world in a unique way that allowed me to experience the villages, tribes, and cultures without the convenience of just leaving any place at any time. If you walk you can’t just leave at night and go somewhere else. You have to arrive and then befriend strangers within minutes.
