Description

Heather Ellis's Ubuntu is a remarkable account of her solo motorcycle journey across Africa. In 2005, at the age of twenty-eight, she had a sudden urge to ride from one end of the continent to the other, despite having no prior long-distance motorcycle experience and never having set foot in Africa before. Ellis's odyssey took her to breathtaking landscapes, including the heights of Mt Kilimanjaro and the Rwenzori Mountains, as well as treacherous deserts and a 'floating village' on the mighty Zaire River. Along the way, she was warmly welcomed by locals and fellow travellers who shared their homes and hearts with her, helping her to grasp the essence of ubuntu - a Bantu concept that means 'I am because you are'. This inspiring story is not just about Ellis's incredible journey but also about the universal bond that connects all humanity as one.
