Douglas Sidialo Biography

Douglas Sidialo's life took a dramatic turn on August 7, 1998, when he lost his sight due to injuries sustained in the US Embassy bombing in Nairobi, Kenya. Despite this life-altering event, he has continued to inspire many worldwide through his determination and resilience.

As a blind adventurer and motivational speaker, Sidialo achieved a remarkable milestone as the first blind African to summit Mount Kilimanjaro on September 10, 2005. His adventurous spirit didn't stop there; between January 13 and May 12, 2007, he completed the Tour D’Afrique, a grueling 12,000 kilometers cycle from Cairo to Cape Town. This made him the first blind person and the first African to finish this journey in 95 days.

Beyond his athletic accomplishments, Sidialo has also held significant leadership roles in the community and in sports. He has served as the President of the Kenya National Paralympics Committee and as a board member of the National Council for People with Disabilities in Kenya. His contributions extend to his role as a United Nations Habitat Goodwill Ambassador for Safer Cities. Sidialo continues to engage audiences worldwide with his powerful story of overcoming adversity and inspiring others through his extreme sports achievements.
