Africa Clockwise
Mark Sampson and Sam Pearce
July 2013 – November 2019



Expedition Trip Details
Africa Clockwise is the name of the epic journey around the circumference of the continent stand-up comedian Mark Sampson, writer Sam Pearce and their children Ruby and Zola completed in their Big Green Truck, fuelled solely by recycled waste vegetable oil.
We set out in 2013 to inspire others to:
-Travel Africa
-Think Green
-Seize the Day
Six and a half years, 47000km, 38 countries and 27 breakdowns later...
Sam is increasingly disabled with M.E. but is slowly but steadily completing a book about their longhaul adventure with longhaul illness.
