Last month Rhino Africa took their seats at the One&Only Cape Town to hear the tales of intrepid adventurer, Riaan Manser – the first in a series of Guest Speakers to feature at the One&Only throughout the winter season.
Riaan’s travels have earned him the title of “Out There Adventurer of the Year” in 2006 and 2009. His bestseller book, “Around Africa on my Bicycle”, tells his story from spending time in jail in Equatorial Guinea to being taken hostage by Liberian teenage rebels.
Accompanied by a variety of photographs both shocking and inspiring, Riaan described his adventure from beginning to end. Departing Cape Town, leaving behind friends and family, he ventured up the coast with the aim of cycling the entire coast of Africa from beginning to end with only his bicycle – and a mouse at one point – for company.
After a presentation by Riaan, revealing his immense courage and a determination found in few among us, we moved to Reuben’s Restaurant for dinner of seafood salads, roast meats, desserts and any other item your tummy may desire.
