Cycling
Explore Africa on two wheels and experience its landscapes from a whole new perspective. Cycle through open plains, countryside and wildlife-rich areas while enjoying a more active and immersive safari experience.
Cycling offers a fun and active way to explore Africa beyond the traditional safari vehicle. Depending on the destination, rides can be guided or self-guided and range from gentle scenic routes to more adventurous trails.
Cycling brings you closer to your surroundings. Instead of watching the landscape through a vehicle window, you can feel the breeze, hear the sounds of nature and take in the scenery as you ride.
Your experience usually begins with a safety briefing and an introduction to the route. With a guide where required, you can explore a variety of terrain and enjoy views of the African landscape. Wildlife sightings may also be possible, depending on the location and route.
Some routes can be physically demanding, so a reasonable level of fitness is recommended. The reward is an active and memorable way to experience Africa.
