From Gambia she entered Guinea Bissau , where the entry into Guinea presented the challenging , but supremely rewarding combination of muddy and waterlogged jungle tracks where no car could venture . Sinje continued down the Ivory Coast , onwards through Ghana , which included a 24-hour wait at the border , Cameroon and Angola amid the endless African majesty on the way . She finally arrived in South Africa to complete her unforgettable 13,000km journey which saw her meet countless people and experience nature in ways only possible on two wheels . “ My dream was to see the world with my own eyes . No matter how much I learn about places , seeing and experiencing them myself will always give me a better understanding . This I feel is particularly the case for Africa . With this adventure I not only wanted to open up my own and other people ’ s views and ideas about this continent , but also give an example of what is possible even if the challenges seem too big at first . We are capable of a lot more than we think .”
