Motorbike Tours in Kenya: Explore Gravel, Fesh Fesh, and Red Dirt Roads

Kenya isn’t just beautiful. It’s a rider’s paradise.

The country is packed with diverse terrain: dusty plains, forest tracks, rolling hills, and more. Each region brings something different. Our routes are designed to show you the most stunning, exciting, and remote areas possible.

Not every tour covers all types of terrain, but these are the main surfaces you’ll encounter across Kenya. Each one brings its own style of adventure.

1. Murram Roads (Kenya’s Classic Red Dirt Tracks)

Murram roads are compacted red clay and form the backbone of Kenya’s rural routes. They ride beautifully when dry and get tricky when wet.

Expect:

• Fast, flowing sections with great visibility

• Good grip in dry conditions, sticky when it rains

• Endless scenery and that signature red dust

2. Gravel Roads (Loose, Rough, and Scenic)

Gravel varies from smooth to chunky and shows up most in remote or hilly areas. These roads add a bit of technical edge to your ride.

Expect:

• Loose stones, some ruts or bumps

• Fun, challenging sections

• Wide open views of the landscape

3. Fesh Fesh (Fine, Powdery Dust — Kenya’s Secret Sauce)

Fesh fesh is a soft, powdery dust that looks solid but behaves like deep sand. It’s a favourite in rally racing and a real test for riders.

Expect:

• Wobbling and floating like you’re on talcum powder

• Slow, steady control needed

• Serious rally vibes, with coaching from our crew

We guide you through it and prepare you well. It’s usually a highlight for those who enjoy a little thrill.

4. Tarmac (Smooth Sections Between the Adventure)

Yes, we also ride tarmac in Kenya. And it adds a lot to the journey.

Some stretches are older and full of potholes, which keeps things interesting. Others are fresh, smooth, and perfect for cruising while soaking up the views.

Expect:

• Winding roads through mountains, farms, and coastlines

• Bumpy bits that keep you alert

• That smooth rhythm of leaning into the curves

Tarmac isn’t just a connection from A to B. We choose these sections to enhance the ride.

5. Trail & Bush Riding (Our Private Access Routes)

Thanks to strong local connections, we have access to places few others can reach — including forest paths, hidden wildlife routes, and old service roads.

Expect:

• Epic scenery

• Wildlife encounters

• That real “off-the-map” feeling

This is what makes Safari MotoXpedition stand out. These are routes you won’t find on any other trip.

Ride Smart, Ride Free — With a Team That Knows the Land

Every route we build balances variety, safety, and excitement. Some trips stick to fast, open roads. Others head deeper into technical, off-road terrain. But no matter the mix, it’s always doable and always memorable.

You don’t need to be a pro. You just need to love riding and be up for an unforgettable adventure.
