25 Months to go before we departure in late 2025,
its time to reveal this Big Challenge set. Besides having done Crazy Adventures, Safaris, Road Trips, Swim With Sharks, Game Ranging and Wildlife Rescue.
This by far the Biggest Challenge I have set myself on yet.
Introduction
"2 BUGS & a BEETLE" Survival Show
Cross Africa Expedition
Presented by: Rudi Botha
planning on crossing Africa to Europe with several challenges set.
CHALLENGES IN SHORT:
It's a tuff enough ask doing it in a Classic Beetle (50+ Years Old) without a Backup Crew, While Passing through much 4x4 terrain and Hostile regions. However, to make it more challenging, I decided to do it alone having just Guest appearances join me as I go. To make it even more difficult, I wanted to set a Challenge that has not been achieved yet, and that's crossing Africa in the vehicle without the access to Funds, forced to achieve this expedition by finding work, trades in each country as I go along the route while being Filmed to show how I did it.
WHAT THIS SHOW AND EXPEDITION WILL BE ABOUT:
I hope to Inspire Thousands, To Teach, Learn and to Embrace all Cultures while making a difference to Humanity and Conservation.
I hope to show viewers, followers and Fans why a Standard 50 Plus Year Old Classic Beetle known as "The People's Car" is also the "Car of the Century" and why I have such a huge passion and love for them, while showing Africa, the Good, the Bad and The Ugly.
I hope to reveal Africa's True Beauty, Amazing People, Majestic Locations, Wildlife & Ocean life and to encourage the need for conservation and protection for both Animals and Humans whom need protection and help.
I hope to show Africa in all light while making a positive difference in Humanity, Care, Love & Support, revealing True Heroes I find along the way making an actual visible Difference and change.
