About this film
Episode 84 is part of onherbike’s round-the-world series. The wider journey began in April 2017, when the rider set out from Australia alone on a BMW F800GS without a fixed destination or end date. In this instalment, the focus is on travel through Eswatini, the limits rain placed on the planned exploration, and the local insight that came through meeting another traveller. Recorded in December 2019, the film sits within the series’ account of a long-distance motorcycle journey.
The journey
Heavy rains affected the rider’s plans for exploring Eswatini. After spending a few days resting at an ecolodge, she met Ellen, a German overlander known as My Pink Bumper. Ellen’s deep familiarity with the kingdom gave the rider a way to get to know Eswatini beyond the original plan. The episode’s story follows that shift from a weather-shaped pause to a shared introduction to the country, with the journey told through the perspective of a visiting motorcyclist and another overlander.
