Udoh Ebaide Joy has just finished what many would describe as an epic adventure.

She rode her motorbike across Africa – stopping in ten countries including Kenya, Rwanda, Zambia, Angola and Cameroon. She covered over 9,000 km and ended her journey in her country Nigeria.

Why did she make the journey? And what was it like travelling solo as a woman on a motorbike?

In today’s Africa Daily, Alan Kasujja speaks to her about the experiences she had on the road, the challenges she faced, and the moments she'll never forget.
