Tour d'Afrique

The trans-African crossing from Cairo to Cape Town has long been one of the world’s epic journeys and an iconic goal for global adventurers. Over the years this quest has inspired many to attempt to complete the route and in 2003, we decided to tackle it by bicycle. Our Tour d’Afrique Cycling Expedition is a unique test of mind and body, that will ultimately reward riders with an intense feeling of personal satisfaction and accomplishment.

Our flagship expedition crosses Africa from north to south. Each year the route changes to adapt to changing political and environmental realities and to give riders the best experience possible. As riders pedal along the Nile past ancient temples before flying to Nairobi, Kenya to continue the journey southwards. The cyclists spin past legendary Mount Kilimanjaro and Lake Malawi and stop to admire the incredible power of Victoria Falls. Finally, the track follows the edge of the magnificent Kalahari desert, past the towering red dunes of Namibia and finishes in the shadow of Table Mountain in beautiful Cape Town, South Africa.
