Overview
Africa is the continent for everyone looking for wide tracks and real adventure. On motorcycle tours through Africa you ride over the dunes and clay pistes of the Moroccan Sahara, across Namibia's gravel expanses and through the winding Cape region of South Africa. Motourismo accompanies you with experienced guides and a support vehicle – from an enduro week in the desert to a multi-week journey between Kilimanjaro and the Cape of Good Hope. This page carries only what can actually be booked: fixed departures, vetted operators, stated inclusions. Guided motorcycle tours Africa ride in small groups with a local guide and a support vehicle; self-guided versions hand you the same route with a roadbook and accommodation already booked, but leave the pace and the breaks to you. Whether a trip covers one country or links several is decided by the routes above – or country by country.
What a trip costs, which riding level it asks for and what is included is stated on every tour, before you book.
Straight to the most popular countries:
Riding regions
Riding regions do not follow borders. These are what decides how a trip feels – and which month it makes sense in.
The High Atlas begins an hour by ferry behind Europe: Tizi n'Test and Tizi n'Tichka, mud-brick villages in the gorges and, behind them, the first dunes of the Sahara. Tarmac and piste alternate, navigation stays simple and the scenery changes every thirty kilometres.
Country pages
From Cape Town over the passes of the Karoo, through the mountain kingdom of Lesotho and on into Namibia's Kalahari: immaculate tar roads alternate with gravel roads on which three hundred kilometres without a settlement is normal. Wildlife at the roadside is part of route planning here.
Country pages
Between Kilimanjaro, the Rift Valley and the highlands of Madagascar lies the continent's most unspoilt riding region. Tracks instead of roads, river crossings in the rainy season and villages where a motorcycle is still an event. Ridden in a small convoy, with a support vehicle and plenty of time buffer.
Country by country
One trip worth starting with from each of the busiest countries in Africa. Everything else is on the country page itself.

Timing
The season decides the route, not the other way round. Rough orientation for the continent – the exact windows are stated on each country and each tour.
Best season March–May & September–November
Africa is best travelled counter-seasonally. While it's winter in Europe, southern Africa is in its dry season with pleasant riding temperatures. Morocco rides best in spring and autumn, when the Sahara days are mild rather than blazing hot. Tanzania shines in the dry season from June to October, Madagascar outside the rainy months. So you'll find a region with ideal conditions almost all year round.

Travel experiences
Real voices from travellers who have been on the road with us.
Booking
Six to nine months is realistic for the sought-after departures: groups are small and popular dates fill early. Short notice often still works – we check availability directly with the operator and tell you in the enquiry what is still bookable.
The cheapest bookable trip in Africa starts at 2,850 €. Above that, duration, region and inclusions decide – a one-week standard tour sits well below a multi-week trip on a rental machine. The price and what it covers is on every tour page before you book.
Usually accommodation, guide, support vehicle and the inclusions the operator lists. Travel to Africa is normally not part of it on long-haul trips, and neither is fuel, the rental machine or insurance unless explicitly named. The full list is on every tour.
You pick your departure on the tour page and send the booking; we pass it to the operator, who confirms it – only then does the travel contract come into being. Deposit and balance follow the operator's terms and go directly to them, not to Motourismo.
Within Europe often yes; for long-haul destinations a rental machine on site is usually cheaper and far simpler. If you still want to ride your own machine in Africa, we arrange the transport. Every tour description states whether own bike, rental or both is intended.
If a guided trip does not reach its minimum group size by the stated deadline, the operator can cancel. You get payments back or move to another departure – deadlines and the cancellation scale are in the pre-contractual information before you book.
