Every rider is welcome to join our scheduled group tours and self-guided tours. Our participants come from different nationalities, ages, and genders and may not be familiar with each other at first. However, they come together to enjoy the ride as a group and have the opportunity to make friends in no time.

Our tours typically feature 200cc and 250cc motorbikes.

In Kenya and Tanzania, we often ride KIBO 200cc. In other African countries, we will mostly ride the Haojin 250cc.

For information about motorbikes used in other destinations, please refer to the “Particulars” section of each tour or contact us for further information.

If you have ridden some kilometers on your motorbike, you can join some of our tours that have less off-road time (35%-45%), such as Kenya and Tanzania. It can be helpful for you to have some off-road experience to prepare for the tour, but we have seen inexperienced riders doing well on their first try.

For adventures in Africa, the roads can be challenging. If you are unsure whether your riding skills are suitable for the tour, feel free to send your questions via email: info@africarides.com.
