Along the way, they find themselves in the most bizarre situations and meet extraordinary people. With the Doutzen Cruiser, they cover thousands of kilometers, adopt a dog, wreck their vehicle in the Sinai, help charities, end up in jail multiple times, and even confront a crocodile. The African continent serves as the impressive backdrop for a journey full of setbacks, challenges, and unforgettable encounters.
"We were just winging it," says Henk Rigter. "Not always smart and sometimes on the edge, but always with an open mind. And we always managed to get ourselves out of trouble. This book is for anyone who has ever thought: what if I just go for it?"
Across Africa is an impressive story about friendship, self-discovery, perseverance, and the irresistible urge for adventure.
