The fastest journey from Cape Town to Cairo on foot (male) is 301 days, and was achieved by Keith Boyd (South Africa), from 27 July 2023 to 22 May 2024.
The previous record of 318 days had stood for over 25 years.
Keith viewed Cape Town to Cairo as one of the toughest and most difficult challenges of mental and physical strength, and believed that if he could complete it in record-breaking time at the age of 57, it might inspire people in a number of ways.
He also used the attempt to fundraise and raise awareness for the non-profit Rainbow Leaders which aims to reduce poverty levels in Africa.
