Japanese adventurer Gump Suzuki arrives in Cape Town at the end of a more than six thousand kilometre journey across Africa whilst pulling a rickshaw. Suzuki began his African odyssey last summer in Kenya and has a large following on social media where he has shared regular updates of his adventures. It has been a "very good experience," he tells AFP, despite some hairy moments such as seeing a lion and a truck hitting his rickshaw.

00:00Yeah, it's my last day today
00:16I'm a lion on the road.
00:36We just came back to the village.
00:40So yeah, we are running together with any children in Tanzania.
00:44And then, so I broke my rickshaw by hitting a truck, yeah, two times, but I'm still alive.
00:51And then, so when I was crossing like Namibia, nothing everywhere.
00:56That's why it's very difficult to get the water, to get the food.
00:59I sleep outside every time.
01:02Yeah, but that's a very good experience for me.
