I am leaving West Africa |S7E60|
EDITORIAL SUMMARY
This closing episode of Itchy Boots’ Season 7 journey through Africa marks a pause in West Africa. With the rainy season becoming too intense, the journey gives way to waiting out the heaviest rains and making room for other adventures and different motorcycles.
About this film
“I am leaving West Africa” is the final episode of the Africa journey for now, rather than a permanent end to travelling. The central story is shaped by the season: the rains have become too heavy to continue as planned, so the next step is to wait them out. That decision gives the film a quieter, transitional place in Season 7, titled “Return to Africa.” It closes this chapter while looking towards other adventures and the possibility of trying different motorcycles. At 26 minutes and 54 seconds, the episode offers a concluding instalment in an ongoing motorcycle-travel series, with the change of plan itself at the heart of the story.
The journey
The available description identifies the journey as a route through Africa and places this final episode in West Africa, but does not specify the towns, roads or border crossings covered. Its clearest account of riding conditions is the rainy season, which has become intense enough that the heaviest rains must be waited out. Rather than suggesting a particular route or a final destination, the episode frames this moment as a pause in the larger journey. The progression is from travelling through Africa to stepping back from the current journey for a time, with other adventures and different motorcycles planned in the meantime.
People, places and moments
The focus is the rider’s decision to leave West Africa for now because of the rain, and what that means for the journey’s next chapter. The description does not provide details about specific encounters, landmarks or individual riding days, so the film is best approached as a story of timing and a change in plans rather than as a guide to a defined route. For viewers following Season 7, it serves as the closing point of this Africa journey while leaving open the prospect of returning to travel in other ways.
