An experienced wildlife guide and mountain bike enthousiast leads
the rides.
You can bring your own vehicle or hire one. All trips are vehicle
supported with radio contact between riders and support vehicle.
The vehicle is large enough to carry all the bikes, equipment and
people (max. 6).
This is a hands-on experience with riders helping to maintain their
own bikes and helping out with the camp.
Fly camps are set up for overnights, which are either spent along
a Masai homestead, in the open bush or using village campsites.
Cycling in the African climate is challenging, hot and dusty, but
for the enthousiast an opportunity not te be missed. Experiencing
the people and their culture is easily done in a very unintrusive
manner. Cycling affords you the opportunity to experience all the
smells and bells ! Africa as it really is.
