Kenyan biker and long-distance travel enthusiast Mustapha Konvict, celebrated for his captivating Facebook presence, recently completed a daring expedition across East and Southern Africa. Accompanied by MOZAMBIQUE ADVENTURE TEAM" rider Naeem Gulamo, this thrilling journey was marked by obstacles, tenacity and unforgettable memories.

The adventure kicked off in Mozambique where Naeem rode to Kenya and joined Mustapha to navigate the vast landscapes of East Africa. Before the duo could even take off for their planned expedition, there was already an indifference between them as far as route preferences were concerned. Naeem preferred to explorer Burundi first, of which Mustapha Konvict strongly discouraged him against due to bad weather and poorly structured roads along some of the major routes in the country. The was also a bit of political instability in Burundi which could make things a bit unpredictable for any traveler. But Naeem's zest and curiosity pushed him to overlook the challenges that lie ahead, as he decided to go ahead and explore Burundi. A decision he later regretted.

He chose to brave the rugged roads of Burundi, while Mustapha opted to bypass the country due to its poor infrastructure and continued directly into Tanzania.

In Tanzania, Mustapha encountered a few challenges of his own: a tyre puncture 160 kilometers from the Malawi border. Despite multiple repair attempts, the tyre repeatedly kept on leaking. Yet, Mustapha’s determination never wavered. Battling intense heat and difficult terrain, he pressed on until a replacement tyre arrived from Malawi with the assistance of a fellow biker Nasr Nasr, allowing him to resume his journey.

Reunited with Naeem after his detour through Burundi, the pair ventured into Tete and Chimoio in Mozambique. The journey through Mozambique’s corrugated roads and sweltering heat proved grueling, but it was an adventure Mustapha described as unforgettable.

The expedition concluded in Johannesburg, South Africa. Although he initially planned to visit Cape Town and Namibia, Mustapha decided to postpone these destinations for another adventure, rider fatigue had already started to take its toll on him.

Along the journey, and across various African, Mustapha Konvict was greeting with the warmest reception any traveler could ask for. Most biker offered him a stay at their houses for the duration of his stay in their respective countries, whereas other offered to fill up his tank and some would accompany him to the border on his exit from that particular country.

For someone who only started riding less than 2yrs ago, Mustapha Konvict's journey has been nothing short of remarkable and truly inspirational.

Naeem, a passionate member of the MOZAMBIQUE ADVENTURE TEAM", embarked on a remarkable 27Day journey through 10 African countries, showcasing both the beauty and challenges of traveling on two wheels. His adventure began in Maputo, Mozambique, and covered destinations in South Africa, Zimbabwe, Malawi, Tanzania, Zanzibar, Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, and Burundi. The trip, filled with diverse experiences, tested his resilience and determination.

One of the most taxing moments came at Beitbridge Border Post, where he spent 10 hours trying to past the border before having to sleep there. Similar traffic woes haunted him in Kenya and Uganda, where a mere 10 kilometers took three hours due to congestion. In Uganda, he adhered to strict speed regulations enforced by road cameras, while political instability in Burundi forced him to cut his visit short to one night after police officers attempted to confiscate his phone for taking pictures (illegally).

Naeem’s journey often took him through treacherous terrains. In Burundi, a 160km untarred route, made slick by rain, took six hours to traverse due to his bike’s road biased tyres. In Tanzania, despite warnings of bad roads, he braved another challenging muddy stretch, a decision he later vowed never to repeat. However, the journey was not without its rewards. In Zanzibar, he explored the island’s pristine beauty, including Nakupenda Island, Stone Town, and the historic Prison Island, marking a significant achievement as the first Mozambican biker to visit Zanzibar with his motorcycle.

Throughout his travels, Naeem experienced the hospitality of local biking communities. In Malawi, Lilongwe bikers welcomed him warmly, while in Kenya, he forged new connections with the Pwani Bikers in Mombasa. Mustapha Konvict, a very well-known biker in Kenya and other parts of Africa, decided to take a ride back to South Africa with Naeem. Similarly, in Rwanda, members of the Kigali Free Bikers Club escorted them into the city and ensured his stay was memorable.

Despite the difficulties, Naeem successfully completed his mission of traversing 10 countries. He immersed himself in the culture, landscapes, and camaraderie of each nation, cementing bonds with fellow bikers across the continent.

Two weeks ago, Naeem from the MOZAMBIQUE ADVENTURE TEAM" embarked on a ride that circumvented half of the African continent.

This video clip was taken in Burundi. According to Naeem, this was his most challenging ride throughout the entire trip as it stretched for 100+ kilometers and was met with crosswinds and rain. His bike was fitted with road biased tyres, making wet offroad terrains difficult to navigate. Write up coming soon......

In an unexpected twist of fate, a group of riders (Around Africa On A Motorcycle) on an ambitious journey across Africa found themselves halted at the Galafi Border between Ethiopia and Djibouti. What initially seemed like an administrative inconvenience turned out to be a life-saving intervention.

The group, armed with valid eVisas, arrived at the border post with plans to continue toward Haafun Point, the easternmost tip of Africa. However, their progress was abruptly halted when border officials revealed that the machines required to verify their eVisas were non-functional. With no alternative available, the riders were forced to abandon their plans and reconsider their route.

While the riders grappled with frustration and disappointment, news soon broke that transformed their perspective. Within 24 hours, security personnel issued a red alert advising against travel along their intended path. Ongoing military operations in the Horn of Africa had rendered the area extremely dangerous.

What first seemed like a logistical setback quickly became clear as an act of providence. The malfunctioning eVisa system had, in effect, saved the team from venturing into a high-risk zone.

With their plans for the eastern route shelved for now, the riders made the collective decision to return home early for the festive season. Embracing this unplanned break, they saw it as an opportunity to spend valuable time with their families and reflect on the journey so far.

“This journey has always been about more than just reaching destinations,” said one rider. “It’s about purpose, faith, and trusting the process—even when things don’t go as planned. The border issues were frustrating, but looking back, we’re grateful. We’ve been protected in ways we couldn’t have imagined.”

The team remains committed to completing their journey across Africa, with plans to resume their ride after the festive season. The next leg will see them heading south, navigating new terrains, and continuing their mission of raising awareness and funds for their cause.

While the easternmost tip of Africa remains a goal for a later stage, this experience has reaffirmed a vital lesson: sometimes, closed doors are blessings in disguise.

As they celebrate the holidays with loved ones, the riders extend their gratitude to those who have supported their journey with prayers, encouragement, and goodwill.

The road ahead is long, but the purpose remains steadfast. The riders are more determined than ever to complete their adventure with faith, resilience and gratitude.
