HUYU NDIYE KIJANA ANAYEZUNGUKA BARA LA AFRIKA KWA BAISKELI.

A man with a remarkable plan: Derek Cullen decided to cycle across the whole length of Africa after losing both his parents to cancer
Derek Cullen ni kijana wa miaka 32 aliki kwa sasa hana mama wala baba baada ya kufiwa na wazazi wake wote wawili kwa ugojwa wa Kansa na sasa anazunguka bara zima la Afrika kwaajili ya kuchangisha pesa kwaajili ya kuanzisha kituo cha kutibu ugonjwa huo bure.
Still a long way to go: His journey has already taken him through seven African countries - and will carry him through three more
safari ya Derek Cullen itampitisha katika nchi saba barani Afika ambapo alianzia huko jijini Cape Town nchini Afrika Kusini na sasa tayari ameshapita Botswana,Tanzania na Kenya.
Looking ahead: Derek Cullen began his odyssey in November, at False Bay on the lower shoreline of South Africa, near Cape Town

Nothing but the two wheels beneath him: Derek's vehicle for his grand odyssey is a simple road bike
Derek akiwa amepozi na baiskeli yake kabla ya kuianza safari.
The freedom of the open road: Derek has embarked on his epic adventure to raise money for a children's charity
 Derek akiianza safari yake ya kuchangisha pesa kwaajili ya kuanzisha Charity ya ugonjwa wa kansa.
Careful where you put your wheels: There have been a few animal encounters along the way - with creatures both large and small
Derek anapita sehemu mbalimbali zenye kila aina ya wanyama na wadudu hatari kama hapo akipishana na kinyonga barabarani.
Moments of levity: Although the language barrier has proved an issue, Derek has enjoyed plenty of interaction with local people
Pamoja na kikwazo cha lugha lakini Derek amekua akipita katika vijiji mbalimbali na kukutana na watu wa nchi na vijiji vyenye makabila na kuongea lugha tofauti tofauti lakini kwake sio kikwazo kwani amekua akuwasiliana nao hata kwa ishara.
A laugh along the way: Derek has taken to explaining to bemused passers-by that he has 'run out of diesel'
 Derek akiulizia wapita njia maswali kadhaa ikiwa ni pamoja na sehemu ya kupata mahitaji muhimu.
Have to stop, need a rest: A break for a snooze in the convenient shade of a roadside tree
Derek akiwa amejipumzisha kwenye kivuli na baiskeli yake kabla ya kuendelea na safari yake ya kulizunguka bara la Afrika kwa Baiskeli.
Putting down temporary roots: A tent is one of Derek Cullen's few luxuries as he bids to cycle from South Africa to Egypt
Hapa Derek akiwa amejipumzisha kwenye hema lake.
Making the best of it: A rainy day and an encounter with children using a rudimentary - but effective - type of umbrella
Derek akiwa na koti lake la mvua akikatisha mbuga kuelekea nchini Namibia huku watoto wakimshangaa.
Tough going: As well as scorching temperatures, Derek has cycled through rain storms and extreme downpours
Fending off the heat: A desperate bid to cool down under the unforgiving African sun
Sehemu nyingine hali inakua ya joto sana na ilibidi Derek ajimwagie maji ili aweze kuendelea na safari yake.
Really starting to feel it: The effort involved in pedalling under the African sun is all too visible in this revealing image
Wakati mwingine kichwa kinauma ila safari lazima iendelee.
Take care: Derek's route has taken him through fabled wildlife-rich countries such as Botswana, Kenya and - in this photo - Tanzania Derek akikatisha kati kati ya mbuga ya wanyama ya Mikumi huku akikutana na vibao vya tahadhari ya kuwepo kwa wanyama wakali.
Plenty to look at: A close encounter with an elephant on the road through Botswana
hapa akikutana kwa karibu kabisa na tembo katika moja ya mbuga za wanyama nchini Botswana.
No need for petrol: This gas station in Tanzania appears to be closed - but this is of no matter to our brave cyclist
Akiwa katika moja ya kituo cha mafuta nchini Tanzania lakini anakuta kikiwa kimefungwa lakini baiskeli yake inatumia gesi kwahiyo haikua na shida.
I can't believe you're doing this: Plenty of people have been receptive to what Derek is trying to achieve
Derek ni mcheshi sana na mpenda watu na kila mahali anapokutana na watu hupenda kuongea nao mambo mbalimbali.
On a line of latitude: A major moment during Derek's journey as he crosses the equator in Kenya
Hapa bwana Derek akiwa nchini Kenya eneo la equator.
Into the sunset: Derek hopes to conclude his journey in Egypt later this year

Kila la kheri Derek.
