Embark on the journey of a lifetime with our epic African motorcycle tours, tackling the legendary routes: from the historic Cairo to Cape Town Trans-African Highway, to the rugged majesty of the Casablanca to Hargeisa Great African Silk Road.
You won’t be tackling this alone. Each expedition is fully supported by our dedicated Overland truck/bus and crew, ready to assist with logistics, essential maintenance, and providing snacks and hot meals en route. Plus, the Overland vehicle allows you to explore stunning areas where motorbikes are restricted, such as National Parks and protected wildlife reserves.
Starting in Kenya, all of our expeditions feature a well-deserved rest stop in the heart of East Africa, offering you exceptional recharge and relaxation before you push on East, West, North, or South.

Why Africa is the Ultimate Biking Frontier
For the seasoned motorcyclist, Africa isn’t just a continent; it’s the last great challenge. Itโs where navigation skills, mechanical intuition, and sheer willpower are tested daily. You’ll move beyond smooth tarmac into a world of endless dirt tracks, shifting sand dunes, and mountain passes that define “off-road.”
Our tours are designed not just for travel, but for conquest. This isn’t a casual ride; it’s a deep immersion into a land of incredible geographical and cultural diversity. Imagine navigating the colossal Sahara Desert, traversing the lush rainforests of the Congo Basin, or tracing the ancient migration routes of the Great Rift Valley. These are the backdrops to your adventure.
“It is not the mountain we conquer, but ourselves.” โ Sir Edmund Hillary
The Legendary Routes: Where Will Your Wheels Take You?
We offer guided tours on two of the most ambitious routes ever conceived:
The Cairo to Cape Town Trans-African Highway (TAH)
This is the holy grail of African travel, a north-to-south odyssey that spans the entire continent.
The Challenge: Expect everything from fast, dusty gravel roads to challenging border crossings and high-altitude mountain sections. This route is a true test of endurance.
The Experience: You’ll transition from the millennia-old civilization of Egypt, through the arid landscapes of Sudan, to the bustling energy of East Africa, culminating at the breathtaking southern tip of the continent.
The Casablanca to Hargeisa Great African Silk Road
A modern legend in the making, this route slices across the vast width of North and East Africa.
The Experience: Starting on the Atlantic coast in Morocco, this expedition takes you through the Atlas Mountains, across the full breadth of the Sahara, and eventually to the Horn of Africa.
The Challenge: Extreme heat, deep sand, and navigating through some of the planetโs most remote and sparsely populated regions demand exceptional preparation and respect for the environment.
“The best journeys in life are those that answer questions you never thought to ask.” โ Rich Ridgeway
Your Essential Mid-Tour Sanctuary in Kenya
We understand that an African expedition of this magnitude requires more than just fuel and oil. That’s why every tour includes a mandatory stop in Kenyaโthe geographic and logistical heart of the continentโfor your designated recharge and relaxation.
Rest and Recuperation: Our planned stop allows you to take several days of much-needed leave from the saddle. This isn’t just a place to sleep; itโs a sanctuary to decompress from the rigors of the road.
Full Service & Repair: Our support team performs a comprehensive, multi-point inspection and service of your motorcycle, addressing everything that the journey has thrown at it, ensuring your bike is prepped for the next leg.
The Recharge: Whether you choose to explore local wildlife reserves, relax by a beautiful lakeside, or simply enjoy a comfortable bed and gourmet meal, this stop is designed to restore your mental and physical energy before you launch into the next phase of your epic journey East, West, North, or South.
The African continent awaits. Are you ready to earn your stripes on its legendary roads?
