About this film

Part of Itchy Boots’ Season 5 journey through Southern Africa, this 20-minute episode follows an exploration around Harare. Its focus is the contrast between the city’s busy streets and the nature and mountains encountered beyond the urban area. The motorcycle is a Honda CRF250L Savannah, accompanying the ride through the capital’s surroundings. A local encounter adds a personal moment to the travel: the rider agrees to carry a teenager who would otherwise face an hour of walking.

The journey

Harare is the starting point for exploring the surrounding area. The route described moves from the city’s bustling activity towards nearby natural scenery, with mountains appearing after leaving the urban environment. Locals are keen to catch a lift on the motorcycle, and one request leads to a teenager joining the ride. The lift saves him an hour on foot and brings a smile to his face. The episode pairs a look at the capital and its environs with this brief, generous encounter along the way.
