    Watch 'Magical Moors - A Mysterious World Full of Life' here: • Magical Moors - A Myst...
    414 days, 15.000 km, 15 countries. On his 24th birthday, geophysicist Anselm Nathanael Pahnke heads out on a journey through Africa with two friends. On their fully laden bicycles, they explore South Africa for three months until the trio surprisingly splits in the scorching Kalahari Desert. While his friends fly home, Anselm brings himself to continue the journey north alone.

    Anselm filmed the trip by himself. His little compact camera became his companion, he kept setting it up to drive past it. To create special shots, he had to get creative and inventive. In addition to his tripod, trees, trucks and donkey carts were his helpers. Occasionally he also held the camera in hand to people on the street who enjoyed it as well. He charged the batteries with a USB charger which was fed by the hub dynamo. The documentary "Elsewhere. Alone in Africa" was made from the recordings and has been shown in over 300 German cinemas since December 13, 2018. Originally, to make a movie was never his plan.

      Wow so amazing this guy got guts of steel. I can't understand how brave this guy is, or was he simply half-full. I learned a lot from this film. Africa has it's own pyramid. That is something new I learn. That is a shocking new knowledge to me. I want to do something like this so much but I am not brave enough. I have not found my bravery. I hope I find strength in me one day to do something like this. I want to take a bike and ride it across the globe.

    I completely understood this feeling. I solo travel once a year for 2 to 3 weeks for 10 years, it's how I spend my vacation. Life is too short to wait for someone to joint my journey. This documentary was published here on October 1 2021.

Pretty much on his own & on a bicycle!!!!! 🤯🤯🤯🤯 the widelife is so epic! I almost cannot believe he did this solo & made it thru! And the people of Africa so beautiful! Man!

      If he had no SIM card how was he able to view part of the administration aspect inside the police station?

    one of the coolest documentaries i have ever seen... what a brave and motivated young man he is.. that is quite a journey he set out on .. each day bringing unseen new challenges and the always changing and sometimes quite dangerous situations he faced... and the time he spent alone pushing forward into the many vast and unknown places that were constantly presenting him with a kaleidoscope of changing (sometimes very dangerous) road conditions and climate changes.. just the everyday challenges he faced with each new and different environments would have sent most people over the edge and they would have quit and went home crying.. this mans epic journey is nothing short of remarkable in that he had only himself to look to many of times and find the inner strength and mindset needed to continue on and complete his goal .. it was a journey of many different challenges... it was mind blowing at times to witness the generosity of the people he came into contact with .. and the kindness they showed him is something that seems kind of rare anymore... he was a stranger to them and they always gave him some help if needed.. and maybe it was only a wave and or smile .. but those things are the ones that could keep one going at times.. all the different people he met along the way and the times they spent together although short are things and memories a person will carry with them and remember forever.. the kids were so cool... and how interested they were of him.. always smiling and laughing.. also i thought what a great job was done with and how this was filmed -edited and presented... just all around great film-work.

    My man you're strong and very brave I'm from south Africa but I wouldn't dare attempt to do what you achieved because I'm scared of Africa even though I'm from Africa,your survival skills are out of this world,your mental strength too nice work. Reality this docu hit me when you reached the sub Saharan. Africa is huge and vastly beautiful

    I am a cyclist, yes at 75 I still enjoy to cycle 30kms two or three times a week, I understand what it takes to maintain your bicycle gearing, with all the desert and general African dust you must have been very diligent in checking and overhauling your gears, truly amazed at how you managed to pick yourself up and keep going with your sicknesses.
