Riding rough with Riaan
TVPlus - English|8 October 2020
Step aside, Bear Grylls – South African adventurer Riaan Manser is coming for your twigs and berries on Showmax.
CRAIG FALCK
Riding rough with Riaan

When it comes to roughing it, SA explorer, adventurist and all-round nice guy Riaan Manser makes other adventurers look like they’re glamping. Instead of a little bicycle ride around the block, in 2006 he became the first person to cycle around Africa – 37 000km! During his trip, he was arrested in Equatorial Guinea and taken hostage in Liberia by drug addicts. He’s climbed Mount Kilimanjaro (the highest peak in Africa) and travelled to Lake Assal (the lowest part of Africa). He’s crazy for adventure and now you can tag along from the comfort of your lounge with Showmax.
