Orlando Cardozo, a 25-year-old from Mere, Wiltshire, travels around Africa in his wheelchair as an alternative to what he describes as unfavorable weather in the UK. According to reporting, he spends months on the trip, covering about 10,000km across multiple countries. The outlets say his route includes Zambia, Tanzania, Zimbabwe and South Africa. During the journey, he faces long travel days, with some legs reported to last up to 16 hours. The coverage frames the trip as a personal journey and a way to manage the conditions he encounters at home, rather than a short visit or tour. The sources do not provide detailed information on dates, total itinerary length by country, or specific weather conditions in the UK, but they consistently describe the scale of the travel, the wheelchair-based nature of the trip, and the countries he passes through.
