A 6,400-kilometre dash across Africa's been the most recent challenge of Japanese rickshaw runner, Yuji Suzuki.
This epic run, which started in Nairobi, makes a change from carrying sightseers on guided rickshaw tours around Tokyo.
No stranger to adventure, Suzuki crossed six African countries including Tanzania, Zambia, and Botswana before reaching Cape Town.
However, Namibia's desert proved the greatest challenge.
But this isn't Suzuki's first cross-countries run.
Inspired by the film Forrest Gump and the title character's run across America, Suzuki pulled his 100-kilogram rickshaw from China to India in 2016.
The following year, he ran 2,500 kilometres across Europe, by which time he'd adopted the nickname Gump Suzuki.
Between 2022 and 2023, Suzuki followed more closely in his fictional hero's footsteps by running 5,100 kilometres across the USA, before attempting this even greater challenge across Africa.
Suzuki's received support from local communities throughout his trip, particularly children coming out to join him.
Meanwhile, the watchful gaze of lions and elephants has sometimes given him cause for concern.
The public enthusiasm and support is witnessed by Alvyn Andrews, who joined Suzuki for the last leg of his journey through South Africa from the Namibian border.
A run across South America's already on the cards for Suzuki next year.
For the moment, he's just glad to have reached his goal in Africa and to show everyone his gratitude for their support.
