Kenya & Tanzania — Baisikeli Maradadi

Get face to face with Africa; experience the people, culture, wildlife and landscapes of this amazing continent.

• Nairobi to Dar es Salaam
• 550km / 16 days
• Moderate gradients
• Un-paved roads and non-technical tracks.

Travel at the pace of Africa on this 16 day mountain bike adventure.  Experience the culture, wildlife and landscapes of this amazing continent.

Biking far from busy roads and main tourist routes you will experience a different face of Africa - local villages and traditional tribesmen, breathtaking scenery and wildlife grazing on the plains.  We travel through open savannah, desert, mountain rainforest, two game parks and tropical coastline.  We follow the foothills of Mt Kilimanjaro with its snow-covered peaks and camp in the wilderness under a cloudless African sky.

Some people choose to extend their trip and follow with a trek of Mt Kilimanjaro or experience the culture and buzz of Zanzibar Island; either of these we can help you to arrange.

WHAT IS THE BIKING LIKE?

• 12 days biking - 90% on dirt and 4x4 roads, some paved roads, and a wee bit of non-technical single track. 
• While most of the riding on this trip is non-technical some off road biking experience will help.
• A good level of fitness will add to the enjoyment of your trip.
• From 25km to 90km per day. Total distance approximately 550km.
