Around Madagascar On My Kayak – Riaan Manser

Description

Around Madagascar On My Kayak by Riaan Manser is an awe-inspiring true story of grit, adventure, and human endurance. In this world-first expedition, Manser became the first person to kayak solo and unaided around Madagascar—the fourth largest island on Earth. Over the course of 11 months and 5,000km, he faced brutal weather, crashing surf, and physical exhaustion, all while navigating political unrest and surviving close encounters with sharks, turtles, and breaching whales.

This gripping follow-up to his bestselling Around Africa on My Bicycle captures not only the physical challenges of such a daring journey but also the emotional toll of extreme isolation. Through vivid storytelling, Manser offers an intimate glimpse into Madagascar’s natural beauty, turbulent politics, and vibrant culture, all from the unique vantage point of a tiny kayak.
