Admittedly - before I arrived in South America, I myself had some concerns when I thought more carefully about the idea of sleeping a lot in nature. Hardly any person I met before the beginning of my journey had anything good to say about South America - no matter which country. It appears to be a great need for many people to warn of possible dangers in the countries one is travelling to. That the dicey situations, which are shared with you without asking for it, did not usually happen to the narrator, but to the friend of an acquaintance, doesn't matter. It's hard to not pay too much attention to those drawn pictures. I admit that I don't always succeed in this, but in order to be dissuaded from a project, it takes more than the widespread fear of the unknown, which seems to live in many people.

Several day tours on the bicycle, bicycle vacation, or even riding only from one city to another without a car is impossible in South Africa, because it's far too dangerous - these were the usual comments about my plans to travel with the E-Bike from Stellenbosch to Tanzania. "If you don't get attacked, you'll at least get a ruthless minibus driver to get you hospitalized." Nevertheless, I dared to do it and had only positive experiences.
