Cycle Africa is an unsupported journey by bike from London, England to Cape Town, South Africa. The route is taking the team of four friends through 29 countries in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, a distance of over 10,000 miles. The team left Russell Square in London on 7 August 2011, they recently reached Nairobi in Kenya and they are aiming to arrive in Cape Town in August 2012; travelling over two and a bit continents, through deserts, over mountains, at a pace that allows them to truly experience the countries and meet people along the way.

Cycle Africa is also a journey with a purpose; our aim is to make a positive difference in the lives of street children in the countries along the route. In partnership with some of the leading street children charities, Cycle Africa is bringing the real and the positive stories of children who are surviving on the streets into the spotlight. We are raising money so more of these children can be helped off the streets into brighter futures. Finally, we are finding advocacy opportunities for our charity partners to inform policy and decision-making at a higher level.
