For his next boots-on-the-ground effort to engage with his fans in the wild, the streamer is going to the motherland as he announces his Speed Does Africa Tour.
Sunday afternoon, he posted a trailer showing him working out on the beach until he spots something glistening beneath the sand. He runs over to dig it up, discovers a globe, and a strong gravitational pull keeps yanking his hand toward the continent of Africa. Glimpses of the countries’ culture, people, and monuments flash across the screen, and he suddenly decides it’s got to be his next destination.
“Oh my goodness, it’s about that time,” the 20-year-old says, signaling he’s ready for the lengthy flight from America.

Speed has been leading the charge of streamers who thrive on leaving their computer chair in favor of traveling in the wild to meet crazed fans, celebrities, and, of course, his challenging series where he takes on pro athletes to prove his own athleticism.
He first confirmed the Africa tour earlier this month during what he said would be his last desktop stream in a while.
“Y’all boys better get ready, ’cause I’m doing a lot of crazy stuff, bro,” Speed teased during a recent stream. “We’re doing a lot of crazy stuff. I’m not even gonna spoil it.”
As the world of streaming continues to evolve, see the reaction to Speed’s upcoming trip below.
