African Bikers
Offering active travel experiences in southern Africa since 1993
Their experienced team in Germany and directly in South Africa connects the personal passion for the African continent, which they would like to share with you on their various trips.
Competent tour guides look forward to enthusiastically introducing you to fascinating regions in southern and eastern Africa from their everyday life experience – be it from the saddle of a bike, on one of the many breathtaking hikes or from the comfort of the travel vehicle.
Our trips can be booked as a group trip or as a private trip on the date of your choice. If you prefer to explore Africa on your own and without a tour guide, but with a good travel vehicle and accommodation that we have personally selected and recommended, we look forward to working out an exciting self-drive route with you.
However you want to discover the fascinatingly diverse African continent, benefit from our detailed knowledge as an organizer on site and from the love for our African homeland!

Overview
Tour Operator African Bikers
The trail around Africa‘s tallest mountain and highest volcano is 370 kilometers long and involves 5200 am of climbing.
It takes you through solitary rainforests, fertile fields of crop and through wild, dry acacia rich savannah, which is the home of the Masai. The tracks around the cloud shrouded, snow-capped roof of Africa are mainly dusty, sometimes rocky, with a few asphalt roads. You spend a night in a Masai cultural village to get to know their customs, songs and dishes. On a safari in Arusha National Park you see some of Africa´s amazing wildlife. Two packages are available: with a local mountain bike guide only, you carry your own luggage during the rides or, a comfort option where a backup vehicle is always around so distances can be shortened to individual needs.
