Wandering through Kenya on a Motorcycle – EP. 62

About this film
Episode 62 of onherbike’s Africa, Round The World series, the film records a stretch of travel in Kenya. The wider journey began in April 2017, when the rider set out from Australia alone on a BMW F800GS, without a fixed final destination or planned duration. Here, the emphasis is on moving through the country at a self-directed pace rather than following a stated itinerary. Recorded in June 2019, the episode runs for 22 minutes and 51 seconds.
The journey
The ride leaves the “big smoke” of Nairobi behind and opens into a period of travel after the rainy season had ended. The description conveys a practical kind of freedom on the road: choosing which way to go, camping wherever suited, and spending time with local people along the way. It presents these choices as part of the experience of riding through Kenya, rather than as stops on a named route. The account stays focused on the changing rhythm between riding, finding a place to camp and meeting people encountered during the journey.
What to expect
- A solo motorcycle journey through Kenya, departing from Nairobi
