Ride Africa

A cycling adventure like no other

For 15 years, our team has been expertly running Ride Africa, and have built one of the most unforgettable cycle trips in Africa.

From the wildlife of Kenya’s Maasai Mara, to the breath-taking backdrop of Mount Kilimanjaro, this is an experience to challenge yourself and leave you with memories to last a lifetime.

Voted one of the National Geographic’s Top Ten Unmissable Events of 2024/25, Ride Africa is more than a cycle trip. It’s an adventure that brings people together to achieve something extraordinary. Every kilometre you ride supports Child.org’s life-saving work in maternal and child health in Kenya.

Why Ride Africa?

A challenge beyond the ordinary: test yourself on rugged trails and long-distance routes, with world-class support. 

Epic scenery: cycle alongside elephants, zebras, giraffes, and more in some of East Africa’s most iconic landscapes.

Community at its core: whether you ride solo or with friends, you’ll join a community of like-minded adventurers. 

Expertly crafted routes: reinvented every few years to bring you fresh highlights and new challenges.

What’s it all for?

Healthy mums, healthy communities

In Kenya, maternal mortality is almost twice the global average.

  • Providing essential health information to parents ;

  • Connecting at-risk mums and babies to critical care ;

  • Collaborating with health authorities to advocate for and improve the quality of perinatal health services ;

  • Working with communities to foster and environment which recognises the value or empowering women with knowledge and peer support.

With Ride Africa, you can be part of this life-saving work.
