Encircle Africa
The website of Ian M Packham scientist/adventurer/writer/speaker encircleafrica.org
Why encircleafrica.org?
Encircle Africa was Ian's biggest adventure to date. Not only that, it was the first solo and unassisted circumnavigation of Africa by public transport!
In other words, Ian visited 31 countries, and travelled a minimum 25,000 miles (40,000 kms) over 13 months using transport only available to local populations. There was no back-up team to get Ian out of sticky situations.
You can discover more about the expedition on the dedicated Encircle Africa page of this website.

I'm carving a career out of not
doing what is expected of me;
replacing medical research with
a circumnavigation of Africa.
If I'm not writing I'm reading,
drinking tea or running. I've
completed 7 half and 1 full
marathon in the last 6 years.
