The mission and goals of the expedition:

• To pay tribute to the great Polish explorer, Kazimierz Nowak
• Popularization of Kazimierz Nowak and his achievements in the country and internationally, including the Africans. We believe that it is worthwhile to show the world that, even before World War II there was a man who in an unusual, in those days, way explored the African continent and described it. Who presented the culture of its indigenous peoples with due respect, which was in conflict with the colonial ideology.
• Promotion of the idea of making dreams come true and awakening passion for travel in the spirit of the recreation
• Popularization of Africa – its beauty, diversity, different speed and simplicity of life, as an alternative to the commercialization of the world

How

We intend to repeat, as faithfully as possible, the route which passed Kazimierz Nowak. The expedition is divided into stages covered in a cycling relay. We move on exactly like Kazimierz Nowak did – mostly on bicycles, but in some stages on foot (expedition of The Rwenzori Mountain in eastern Congo), on horseback (in Namibia), by canoe (on the Kassai river and on the Congo river) and on camels (in the Sahara desert on the way back). We estimate the distribution of route into 24 stages, carried out in approximately two years. We started on the 4th of November 2009…
