The Barabara Tales Information

Two recent university grads (Mark van der Waal and Jens Gronheid) with a common passion for entrepreneurship and adventure, which takes shape in an entrepreneurial adventure itself: over 6,000 kilometres, crossing 7 nations, in 100 days. By bicycle! During this daring journey that takes them from Nairobi to Cape Town, they are collecting and sharing ‘The Barabara Tales’. The Swahili word for road, 'Barabara' should be interpreted both literally—they cycle on it—and metaphorically. Over the course of their journey they will not only tell you about their (undoubtedly bumpy) ride towards the Southern Cape, they will also share with you the stories of African entrepreneurs, the challenging roads they travel towards entrepreneurial success, and the supporting roles of the Dutch Good Growth Fund.
