The story of a 20-year-old who walked, cycled and hitchhiked through Africa
With just $80 in his pocket, Moroccan Othmane Zolati set out from his home with one goal: to make it to the southernmost tip of Africa.When 20-year-old Othmane Zolati decided to journey to the Southernmost tip of Africa, he had no idea what would be in store for him or how long it would take. But, with just $80 in his wallet, a small backpack of a few necessities, and a simple pocket camera he borrowed from his sister, Zolati set out on what would become an epic adventure throughout Africa.

But perhaps the one moment I really feel was rushed through was when Zolati finally reaches Cape Agulhas.
