What is Ride Africa Adventure?

From the award-winning Ride Africa team, we’re bringing you a grittier, wilder experience.

Ride Africa: Adventure offers the same epic cycling experience as our Ride Africa: Classic - but with a rugged twist.

This is an adventure for cyclists who want to trade luxury hotels for starlit camps ; swap fine dining for hearty, open-air meals ; and embrace the beauty of East Africa in a more stripped-backed style.

You’ll cover four unforgettable days of riding through stunning terrain, from Amboseli national park in Kenya to the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania (more about the route below).

All this at a much lower cost, whilst raising equally impactful 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. The staff presence is more low-key than Ride Africa: Classic — but you’ll have the support you need to ride hard and stay safe.
