Kilimanjaro Offroad: Africa Motorcycle Tour

Your motorcycle tour Tanzania begins at Kilimanjaro JRO airport, where our team picks you up and brings you to the hotel in Arusha. There you meet your group and tour guide for the briefing of this guided motorcycle trip through Africa. On rented Honda CRF 250cc machines you then head out on a motorcycle tour through the Usambara Mountains, leading over asphalt roads and demanding unpaved tracks. This trip requires offroad experience, as roughly 75% of the route is unpaved.

Highlights

Usambara Mountains Stage

The motorcycle tour through the Usambara Mountains takes you on winding tracks above 2,300 metres, past palm forests and small villages like Mtae — a demanding day with wide views across the entire northern Tanzania region.

Safari in Tarangire

On the motorcycle tour through Tarangire National Park you leave the bike aside for a day and explore the park by 4x4 — with large elephant herds, antelopes and one of the densest wildlife populations in Tanzania.

Honda CRF Enduro Riding

On this Honda CRF offroad tour you handle sand, gravel and rocky passages between Kilimanjaro and the Pare Mountains. The light enduros are ideal for unpaved tracks and deliver pure riding enjoyment in the field.

Great Rift Valley Offroad

At the foot of the Great Rift Valley you encounter the active volcano Ol Doinyo Lengai. The offroad tour through the Great Rift Valley leads through barren stone deserts and volcanic landscapes revered by the Maasai as sacred ground.

Flamingos at Lake Natron

At the end of your motorcycle tour to Lake Natron, you observe flamingo colonies on the soda lake, spend the night under the open sky and hike through the gorge before the return ride to Arusha begins.
