Enduro tour from the Maasai steppe to the ocean

You cover around 3,000 kilometres on this motorcycle trip through Tanzania, off-road and on-road, in groups from four riders. It starts in Arusha, Tanzania's fourth-largest city. The daily stages are set at a moderate difficulty and can be stepped up along the way. Highlights include the Indian Ocean, the Maasai steppe, Tarangire National Park and the Maziwe marine reserve. Nights are spent in bush camps, motels and lodges, with Tanzanian meals along the way.

Highlights

Start in Arusha

The trip begins in Arusha, Tanzania's fourth-largest city, with a clear view of Kilimanjaro at 5,895 metres, its summit snow-capped year-round and setting the tone for the whole tour from day one.

Maasai steppe and Pare

The route runs through the endless expanses of the Maasai steppe and on to the eastern Pare Mountains, part of the Eastern Arc Mountains with their own flora and fauna along the whole stage through northern Tanzania.

Tarangire National Park

Tarangire National Park is known for its density of elephants and its varied wildlife and plant life, and counts among the undisputed highlights of this enduro tour through northern Tanzania.

Maziwe Marine Reserve

The Maziwe Marine Reserve is an insider tip off the beaten track, with a wide range of marine life right off the Tanzanian coast, rarely visited by other travellers and reachable as part of this guided route.

Along the Indian Ocean

The Indian Ocean brings crystal-clear water and white sandy beaches, plus the chance for cultural excursions to local communities and small markets along the coastal region of the route.
