Nat Geo Teams with Honda on New Biking Adventure Series

WASHINGTON, D.C.: National Geographic Channel has partnered with Honda to produce the new adventure series Riding Morocco: Chasing the Dakar, fronted by professional racer Christophe Barriere-Varju and Aussie model-adventurer Laura Csortan.

On the show, Barriere-Varju and Csortan embark on a biking tour across Africa using Honda Africa Twin bikes. The series will premiere on National Geographic Channel (NGC) globally this month and in Australia on June 17 at 10:30 p.m. The hosts visit historical sites and parts of Africa that are typically off tourists’ radar.

MayYi Lee, the VP of NGC regional production and development for Asia Pacific and the Middle East, said, “We’re pleased to have partnered with Honda on this pioneering television project that fulfills the human need for exploration and uncovers a fascinating side of Africa. Viewers must tune into Riding Morocco: Chasing the Dakar to witness Barriere-Varju and Csortan’s ultimate biking expedition and learn what extremes true adventurers will endure for the sake of self-discovery and making history. NGC is committed to continue producing quality programming that promotes the values of knowing more about the world and driving it forward.”
