If you think adventure has an age limit, think again. Kingsley Holgate has completed 41 expeditions—and counting—all after turning 50. From reaching the geographic centre of Africa to circumnavigating the entire continent in Land Rovers, and even navigating the globe along the Tropic of Capricorn, his journeys are nothing short of legendary.
But it’s not just about exploration. Through the Kingsley Holgate Foundation, over one million mosquito nets and 200,000+ pairs of reading glasses have been distributed across Africa—saving lives and restoring dignity.

Now in his seventies, Kingsley is still out there, proving that the best chapters can be written later in life. I recently had the privilege of meeting him, and trust me—his humility, wisdom, and commitment to giving back are as inspiring as his adventures.
Do yourself a favor and read Scott’s brilliant article on Expedition Portal. It dives deep into Kingsley’s story, and you’ll walk away both inspired and challenged to make your own impact.
