Created by the team behind Long Way Around, Marley Africa Roadtrip ranks 5th on our list of best travel documentaries streaming on Netflix. It follows the Marley brothers (Ziggy, Rohan, and Robbie) on their adventure through Africa, in search for their father’s roots. The legacy of Bob Marley is very much alive in Africa and they see it on every step of their way, as they rush to Ziggy’s concert in South Africa. They also try to promote the African Unity Movement, which Bob Marley championed on his legendary concert in Zimbabwe in 1980. Although there seem to be a few discrepancies between the goal of their trip and the way they do it (sleeping in luxury hotels, riding expensive Ducati bikes) the movie is worth watching if you enjoy African scenery and Marley’s music.
