From Bern to Cape Town by bike


Start: Mid-September 2024

End: July 2025

Approximately 15,000 km and 125,000 meters of elevation will be covered through temperate, subtropical, and tropical zones, including the Mediterranean region, the deserts of the Middle East and Southern Africa, as well as the savanna landscapes around the equator..

While Elias plans to ride the entire route, Sofia will join for three months starting in mid-January 2025. She will cycle the route from Kampala (Uganda), through Rwanda, to Dar es Salaam (Tanzania).

We'll be staying in a tent, various accommodations, and wherever else feels safe and comfortable. Throughout the journey, we aim to connect with locals and learn about their dreams, perspectives, and life experiences.

Bicycling is the nearest approximation I know to the flight of birds.
