Mountainbike safaris  An experienced wildlife guide and mountain bike enthousiast leads the rides. You can bring your own vehicle or hire one. All trips are vehicle supported with radio contact between riders and support vehicle. The vehicle is large enough to carry all the bikes, equipment and people (max. 6). This is a hands-on experience with riders helping to maintain their own bikes and helping out with the camp. Fly camps are set up for overnights, which are either spent along a Masai homestead, in the open bush or using village campsites. Cycling in the African climate is challenging, hot and dusty, but for the enthousiast an opportunity not te be missed. Experiencing the people and their culture is easily done in a very unintrusive manner. Cycling affords you the opportunity to experience all the smells and bells ! Africa as it really is.
