Kenya · Safari Loop · 2027
Kenya’s Untamed
Adventure
Nine days, six riding days & 80% of it off the tarmac.
Not Your Average Motorbike Tour
This is a guided expedition through parts of Kenya most tourists never reach. Winding dirt roads, open savannah, mountain views, wildlife roaming free & a handpicked lodge at the end of every day.
You ride your own Kibo 250. We handle the rest. Route, safety, luggage, food, fuel. You just ride.
It is about the beauty of the place & the joy of riding it together, not about endurance. One moment you are passing zebras, the next you are watching the sun go down behind Kilimanjaro with a cold drink in your hand.
Why riders keep coming back
- Private conservancies. Restricted zones & landscapes no tourist bus will ever reach.
- Wildlife from the saddle. Zebra, giraffe, antelope & ostrich, with no windscreen in the way.
- The Safari Rally route. We ride sections of it, with a team that knows every corner.
- Kilimanjaro. Often with snow on top, usually when you least expect it.
- Lodge to lodge. Full board, locally run, good food & a proper shower every night.
- Max eight riders. Small group, shared days on the trail, evenings around the fire.

Honest check

Be honest with yourself about
The surfaces. Most of this is gravel, murram & sand. You do not need to be an expert, but you do need to be relaxed off the tarmac.
The days. 150 to 250 km, five to seven hours with breaks, in the heat.
The remoteness. Some days there is no phone signal & no shop. That is the point.
This is an adventure, not an endurance challenge. If you can ride, you can do this. Not sure? Talk to us & we will tell you straight.

Frequently Asked Questions
How good a rider do I need to be?
Comfortable on two wheels & relaxed on gravel. You do not need racing experience. Most of our riders are ordinary road riders who wanted something different.
What if I have never ridden terrain like this?
Day 2 is there for exactly that. You get to know the bike, the group & the surfaces before we head out properly.
How long are the days?
150 to 250 km, roughly five to seven hours including breaks. We stop often, at the places worth stopping for.
What should I pack?
We send a full kit list once you are booked. Short version: your own helmet & riding gear, layers for cold mornings, and less than you think.
Is it safe?
Yes. Small groups, a support vehicle behind you, daily briefings, and Raj on the team with a medical background. We ride routes we know.
Can I bring someone who does not ride?
Yes, there is space in the support vehicle. Same route, same lodges, no bike. Get in touch & we will sort the details.
Do I need a visa for Kenya?
You need an eTA, applied for online before you travel. We send instructions once you are booked.
What are the evenings like?
Lodge, shower, food, cold drink, fire. Stories that get better every night. Nobody is in a hurry.
