On their fully laden bicycles, they explore South Africa for three months until the trio surprisingly splits in the scorching Kalahari Desert.

Anselm filmed the trip by himself. His little compact camera became his companion, he kept setting it up to drive past it. To create special shots, he had to get creative and inventive. In addition to his tripod, trees, trucks and donkey carts were his helpers. Occasionally he also held the camera in hand to people on the street who enjoyed it as well. He charged the batteries with a USB charger which was fed by the hub dynamo. The documentary "Elsewhere. Alone in Africa" was made from the recordings and has been shown in over 300 German cinemas since December 13, 2018. Originally, to make a movie was never his plan.

Wow so amazing this guy got guts of steel. I can't understand how brave this guy is, or was he simply half-full. I learned a lot from this film. Africa has it's own pyramid. That is something new I learn. That is a shocking new knowledge to me. I want to do something like this so much but I am not brave enough. I have not found my bravery. I hope I find strength in me one day to do something like this. I want to take a bike and ride it across the globe.

one of the coolest documentaries i have ever seen... what a brave and motivated young man he is.. that is quite a journey he set out on .. each day bringing unseen new challenges and the always changing and sometimes quite dangerous situations he faced... and the time he spent alone pushing forward into the many vast and unknown places that were constantly presenting him with a kaleidoscope of changing (sometimes very dangerous) road conditions and climate changes.. just the everyday challenges he faced with each new and different environments would have sent most people over the edge and they would have quit and went home crying.. this mans epic journey is nothing short of remarkable in that he had only himself to look to many of times and find the inner strength and mindset needed to continue on and complete his goal .. it was a journey of many different challenges... it was mind blowing at times to witness the generosity of the people he came into contact with .. and the kindness they showed him is something that seems kind of rare anymore... he was a stranger to them and they always gave him some help if needed.. and maybe it was only a wave and or smile .. but those things are the ones that could keep one going at times.. all the different people he met along the way and the times they spent together although short are things and memories a person will carry with them and remember forever.. the kids were so cool... and how interested they were of him.. always smiling and laughing.. also i thought what a great job was done with and how this was filmed -edited and presented... just all around great film-work.

Africa is full of humble and friendly people. True beauty. That neatly dressed guy on his bike on the dirt road 21:37 in Zambia waiting for vehicles to pass so that dust can settle 😂😂 he must be a teacher or pastor in the village. I can totally relate to that scenario in Kenyan rural areas.

Thanks for bringing this back. I thought this was already taken down from youtube. A truely wonderful film this is!

[@PhongLe-bz9lj]

One of the best documentary and what a brave man. I can see the beautiful of the Africa thru his journey. thanks for posting

[@oboyogirl]

Jesus! How arduous and how beautiful! In the end, you just have to cry. Thanks for making this journey and thanks for sharing it.

[@obiomaonyeobia4870]

Simply amazing. Africa is truly beautiful with mostly wonderful people. It was definitely worth it to spend time with yourself. It turned out to be a self discovery and fulfilling journey. It was a daunting and dangerous trip to embark upon alone. Glad the good Lord was with you through it all.

26:45 ... poor little bunny 😔😫🐇 ...I guess that's their Take Out 😳

[@anandshakti1]

I have to say this was the finest travel video I have ever seen. So intimate with yourself, the people, the land. Real, Real Real - I just loved it and got to see so much of Africa and her people. Generally, what an amazingly happy folk- thank you so much what a wonderful gift.

[@aacha548]

That's also because it has been professionally edited.

[@Bunnie999]

This left me speechless 🥺,,,so beautiful,,this guy deserves awards

[@claytiful]

Wow. This is a different level of bikepacking documentary. Incredibly emotional just watching you lay out your experience for all to see.

[@winfredvels8853]

Africa, the smiling continent were nature still sets the clock and tells us what's life about. Thanks Anselm for sharing your beautiful, adventurous journey. This must be a precious treasure in your heart forever.

[@arabinking]

i really need a trip like this i have anxiety and this will help me a lot it feels good to see how others live and different people.. i love it ....

[@kylefenrick9168]

Gaining the ability to be happy with oneself while alone, is probably the greatest gift this trip bestowed upon you. I wish for everyone to be able to be comfortable being alone with only nature as entertainment.

[@allanmerritt6347]

My brain wouldn't handle the loneliness but I take my hat off to this young man for his huge journey 👍

[@denisehusbands5751]

This is truly an amazing, inspirational documentary. So well done. Thank you Anselm. I am motivated to continue my journey. So much resilience

[@benpearson1635]

Absolutely an amazing journey in nits own right, but to also document it so beautifully has me in total wonderment. My daughters husband is Maasai and they lived with their two children in a roadless boma on the Maa sai Steppe so I have experienced this friendliness from people who have so little possessions, and so much humanity. This film brings that beauty all back and then some. Thank You Anslem

[@barrysmith8920]

Beyond imagination....but it's a real journey by a reluctant truth seeker whom discovered greatness in this world and in himself.. Incredible film!!

[@caveboy9988]

Love this! Reminds me of my time in Tanzania. African smiles are infectious

[@jamesgathaiya6450]

Those kids playing there full of life ooh my goodness v
