My Bike: https://lewiblake.com/priority-600adx I'm cycling alone into the middle of the Congo Jungle on my bike. It isn't going to be an easy journey in the middle of rainy season as I pass through protected areas, see forest elephants, gorillas and sadly plenty of logging trucks. This is Episode 14 of my Bikepacking Journey Across Africa. If this is the first video you've watched, be sure to go back and start watching from Episode 1 "Robbed on Day 2 Bikepacking Across Africa" For more information on this Bikepacking journey across Africa, you can visit my website https://lewiblake.com where there are plenty of articles and photos from some of the most remote places in Africa.

I rode through Uganda Zaire CAR and Cameron in 1988 on a 21 speed hard frame mt bike. One of the most incredible adventures of my life. I was 27 I’m now 63. Wonderful to see adventurous people living their best lives so they can look back on a life lived from the heart. The people of these countries were some of the happiest wonder filled people I have ever encountered. There were a few scary ones too but that’s another story.
Dude, you are either the most clueless person on YouTube or the bravest or both, but mad props to you. I live next door in Uganda, and I wouldn't in million years dare take that journey in car, dude is ON A BICYCLE 🙆🏽♂️🤯
OMG 😢 Why is no one talking about the huge logs of trees being transported. Like those logs seems to be from really old natural trees coz only 3 can fit on the lorries. So sad how trees keep being cut down in Africa. Anyway, great video you got courage i give you that. 😊
Africa is beautiful and challenging all at the same time. I was born on the East part of Africa and the wildlife with nature combined is a serious issue especially on a bicycle with the conditions you are facing. Good luck and stay safe and alive.
You're a brave man.Leopards,gorillas who knows?! Doing it hard & real mate.Well done & keep safe.
Sad to see those old trees being logged down.
as a Congolese man, you my friend are wild. subscribed!
You are the only person in Africa who rides a bike with a helmet.
You are taking some chances, but I am enjoying the videos.
I just stumbled across this channel, and what a thoroughly enjoyable video. No over-production or gimmicky editing is refreshing to see. I'm off to watch another video...
Like a scary movie he goes towards the noise in the bush Lol
Wow that's awesome But too risky. Staying safe.
I traveled in Myanmar in 2010 and saw a lot of logging too. Heartbreaking...
16:37 my favorite part of the video, this creek looks absolutely prehistoric!
As an American, I lived in Africa for 28 years, including 18 in DRC, absolutely the nicest people on the planet.
I discovered this channel yesterday and just finished all the vids. This has been extremely entertaining and informative. The camera/drone work/audio is phenomenal! Can't wait for more.
This is the most unique bikepacking journey I’ve seen on YouTube. You made me feel alive. Thanks for the inspiration man.
I think what made this video great for me was to feel and share that love of the wonder that is the jungle
Love the drone shots over the forest...a risky adventure this one.
omg i thought something was gonna jump out at you when you were looking through those bushes 😱😆 this episode was so good 😊 take care lewi ❤👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
