Kazimierz Nowak (traveller)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kazimierz Nowak (1897 - October 13, 1937) - was a Polish traveller, correspondent and photographer, born in Stryi. After the First World War he lived in Poznań.
From 1931 to 1936, he travelled alone, on foot and by bicycle across Africa. He covered a distance of 40.000 km [1]. He was probably the first man in the world to do this. His accounts have been published in a book entitled Rowerem i pieszo przez Czarny Ląd (By bicycle and on foot across the Dark Continent). He died in Poznań.
