This is a true account of Jerry Smith’s trek diagonally across Africa on a motorcycle in 1974. It all begins at the northwestern point of Ceuta, through the Sahara Desert, Chad, The Congo, Rwanda and on out to Mombasa by the sea.

Smith finds himself traveling across the most severe desert in the world, close to death in the wildest jungles, and making friends with the most intriguing tribal members.
