What is Ride Africa Adventure?

From the award-winning Ride Africa team comes Ride Africa Adventure - a wild cycling challenge designed for riders who crave the untamed.

This is an experience for cyclists who want to trade luxury hotels for starlit camps, swap fine dining for fireside, open-air meals, and embrace the beauty of East Africa in stripped-back style.

Over four unforgettable days, you’ll ride through breathtaking terrain on one of our expertly crafted routes (more about the route below).

This unique ride is designed to be more affordable, while still raising powerful funds for international charity Child.org.

What it’s all about

WIldlife

Our partnership with wildlife services takes the concept of safari up a notch. With unprecedented cycling access to National Parks and Conservancies, you’ll experience East Africa’s iconic wildlife from your bike. Zebra, giraffes, gazelles, elephants… and more.

hospitality

This is not a luxury tour, and that’s the point.

Accommodation includes a mix of camping and simple 2* - 3* local hotels. You’ll enjoy hot meals under canvas, campfires under the stars, and the kind of camaraderie that only grows when you’re off-grid.

Your impact

The funds you raise through Ride Africa go directly to Child.org. You’ll be helping champion life-saving maternal and child healthcare. Child.org work with parents, communities and local government to provide life-saving information, connect at-risk pregnant women with the clinical care they need and advocate for better quality of care.

Team support

You’ll be looked after by our experienced team of local cycle guides and bike mechanics, medics, backup vehicles and the logistics team.

You’ll have the support you need to ride hard and stay safe.
