The Memoir of Cycling Around the World: Chile to Kili Book



It has been a while since I posted here last time. This is because Chile to Kili ride had its own domain before went out of control to adult content host. I still wonder how could that happened. Is there someone seat down and created a porn site and decide to name it Chile to Kili? There are no short wonders in this life. I write about my travels, adventure, conservation, community, and sustainable development. 

That been said if you are still with me, I'm glad to share with you the memoir of my cycling which includes the biography of my growing up adventures. Throughout my experience, a lot of people wonder how did I conceive the idea of cycling around the world. In the book, I share the adventure of my childhood from the foothills of Mt. Kilimanjaro. My life has been of such an adventure that explains the take on of cycling around the world. I also wanted to share my life with many other young people particular here in Africa who may or we share the same background. My cycling was the quest for education and support for others who are in a similar need. Nature and environment conservation was my message, here I share more how my life has been shaped by growing up and working in nature. 

Travel with the bicycle as a young African is more than adventure, every single kilometer was a wonder even in my home country. The places which were only a dream become a true experience. There are no enough words to explain the night camping in the Atacama desert or cycling through the equatorial rain forest of Africa leave alone the busy streets of Landon. The opportunity to see, experience, and share with many the story of conservation and sustainable development, for me it was like a daydream. 

Contrary to the common perception of conflicts, wars, and hate I received and enjoyed a generally warm welcome throughout my journey. Though this doesn't mean I didn't have my share of our reality. As an African here I share my observation, hope, and wishers.  And finally, as from the beginning, I hope my journey will be an inspiration for other young Africans to take on the actions to find a solution for our challenges.Now you can get the copy of Chile to Kili Book at; www.chiletokili.life.

Elvis Humphrey


Elvis "Lelo" Munis is an African youth with the type of vision that is generated only when poignant personal experience collides with extraordinary vantage point. Just as Africa is a continent of contrast, Elvis’s world consists of point and counter-point. From the slopes of Mt. Kilimanjaro, Elvis might feel his imagination soar, reluctant to let his eyes drop to the villages below where despair hangs heavy like cooking smoke. As he skirts the plains of the threatened land known as the Serengeti, the word “fragility” goes round and round in his mind, like the spinning wheels of his bike. And though he may open the way to those attracted by the richness and natural splendor of Eastern Africa, he honors the sacred trust of such places as Ngorongoro preserve in the crater highlands of Tanzania.

Elvis started Afrikas Safari in 2007 with several goals in mind. He recognized how important it is to look well beyond what is on hand today to a future time when African treasures might hang in balance along with those everywhere on the globe. He has aligned his company with partners engaged in conservative, sustainable development and eco-tourism endeavors.

Elvis is inquisitive by nature and asks hard questions. How can we Africans best counter backwardness with personal development? How can we foster self-empowerment to combat poverty and dependence? Elvis is charting his own way down this new road: He is pulling himself up by his bicycle cleats. His efforts to promote education have included a recent bicycle ride through twenty countries. Beginning in Arusha, Tazmania, Elvis and others ended their trip two months later in Cape Town.

Elvis was born in Marangu village in 1986. He has lived in Tanzania all his life but in the process of building his business, has traveled to 14 countries. His entrepreneurial spirit is helping him to overcome his impoverished start in life. He would like to help other Africans move beyond poverty and work toward a stronger place in the modern world.
