Vespas to Africa

This hour-long adventure documentary follows the world's largest amateur rally, the Budapest-Bamako.

Teams lusting for an adventure set out from the Hungarian capital to reach West Africa.

Three Norwegian adventurers attempt to complete the 9000-kilometer ride on their 20-year-old Vespas.

Follow them and race founder Andrew G. Szabo as they bump along teeth-rattling roads in Morocco, Mauritania, Senegal, and Guinea Bissau.

By skillfully blending the drama and comedy of a wacky road rally with stunning images of Saharan and sub-Saharan life this program makes great travel content as well as reality-based adventure programming.
