Description
This itinerary is a combination of riding, to arrive at the Kenyan Coast and spend 3 nights relaxing and enjoying the beautiful beaches Kenya has to offer. Soysambu Conservancy is the perfect place to enjoy wildlife sightings up close form the seat of your motorbike (giraffe, zebra & gazelles), then amazing views of Mt Kilimanjaro, great sightings of elephant at waterholes, and finally to arrive at the South Coast of Kenya – a pure bush & beach tour.
Daily stages:
Day 1 - Arrival in Nairobi. You will be picked up at the airport and transfered to the Tamarind Tree Hotel. Overnight stay at the Tamarind Tree Hotel, Nairobi.
Day 2 - Early morning departure from Nairobi. Approximately a three-hour drive to Punda Milias Camp close to the city of Nakuru. Here you will get to know your riding crew. After the briefing on the motorcycles and safety rules - it´s time to ride! We go explore the surrounding hills with beautiful views of the lakes and ride in the Eburu forest. Overnight stay at the Punda Milias Camp.
Day 3 - We will have a full day out and explore the Soysambu Conservancy. The Conservancy is home to plenty of plains, zebras, giraffes, gazelles, as well as buffalos amongst other animals. Riding on and around the conservancy is unbelievably beautiful and seeing the animals from the seat of your motorcycle is an experience of a lifetime. Optionally you can have a picnic lunch out, or a lunch back at the camp. There are plenty of routes we can ride, the whole area offers different terrains and different riding level routes – from intermediate to more difficult. Overnight stay at the Punda Milias Camp.
Day 4 - After breakfast, we ride back out of the Great Rift Valley, past the famous Ngong Hills from the film ‘Out of Africa’ and then head south to Kajiado. Overnight stay at a camping site or at the Lerruat Lodge on the top of a steep hill.
Day 5 - From Lerruat Lodge, we ride through small farms and villages towards Amboseli National Reserve. We will spend the night here, just outside the park. The views of Mount Kilimanjaro from this spot are spectacular. Overnight stay at the Teen Ranch Kenya lodge.
Day 6 - From the stunning views of Mt Kilimanjaro, we ride close to the Tanzanian border, close to Tsavo West National Reserve and on to the Teita Taveta area.

Our conservation work
We are committed to protecting the communities, wildlife, and environment that we ride in. The conservancy fees that are charged to the clients are used to support the conservancy areas in which we ride, which sustain the wildlife and communities that live in these areas. We are also in the position to raise money for funding special projects. In our HQ at the Soysambu Conservancy, we have facilitated de-snaring projects. Snares are a major threat to wildlife populations through poaching and these projects that we support are critical to protecting their wildlife populations.
In the past, we have raised money to support the world-renowned David Sheldrick Trust that is known for its rescue and rehabilitation programs for orphaned elephants.
We have also held fundraisers to build predator-proof "bomas", which are designed to reduce livestock and wildlife conflict and, as they are designed to be mobile, they are great for sustainable rangelands management and enhancing grass production.
Our crew equally volunteers at the Mugie Triathlon for route opening and closing as a safety precaution to protect both the wildlife and the competitors. They ensure that there are no buffalo or elephants on the routes during the competition. This also helps raise money for a mobile community clinic serving the Western side of Laikipia.
