A British wheelchair user with a degenerative condition travelled 10,000km around Africa, hearing gunshots, riding donkey carts and even judging talent contests along the way. Orlando Cardozo, 25, from Mere, Wiltshire, spent months travelling through countries including Zambia, Tanzania, Zimbabwe and South Africa , enduring journeys lasting up to 16 hours. Orlando, who has Friedreich's ataxia, said the trip came about after travelling to Zambia to visit his sister, who runs a children's home in the country. He then decided to continue exploring more of Africa.
