Why would a Hollywood star get on a motorcycle and halfway across the world?

Traversing more than 24 000 kilometres of tough terrain, the intrepid travellers are on the adventure of a lifetime as they negotiate their way through countries including Libya, Ethiopia, Sudan, Rwanda, Uganda and Malawi in an exciting new ten-part series, LONG WAY DOWN, on National Geographic. DStv audiences can see Ewan and Charley push themselves to the limit, both physically and mentally. Biking through a Libyan sandstorm, travelling with armed guards in Egypt , flying over the plains of Kenya, hiking in the Ugandan mountains and riding along the South African coastline, the boys experience Africa up close.

While the landscape is rugged and beautiful, the trip is riddled with potholes – on and off road. Tensions reach breaking point midway through the trip when Ewan and Charley spar over structuring the rest of the journey.
