Riding High: Adventures, Wildlife & What’s Next at African Moto Adventures

The Grand Tour 2025: An Epic Success

What. A. Ride. Our Grand Tour 2025 rolled out of Cape Town with blue skies, big grins, and a pack of bikes humming in unison as we carved our way north toward Victoria Falls. This year’s group covered thousands of kilometres through deserts, canyons, salt pans with each day delivering a new pinch-yourself moment.

There were sunrise coffees in the Cederberg, the long empty roads of Namibia where horizons feel endless, and that unforgettable moment overlooking the Fish River Canyon as the sun dropped like molten gold. By the time we hit the Caprivi Strip, elephants had joined the roadside audience, and the camaraderie in the group felt unbreakable.

we are currently releasing a YouTube Series of this tour you can find it here.

Pearl of Africa: Rain, Wildlife & Resilience

Our Pearl of Africa tour has now come to a close—and what a story this edition turned out to be. Uganda reminded us once again why it's one of the most beautiful and unpredictable riding destinations on earth.

The rain came down… and then it came down some more. Red clay tracks turned to slippery ribbons, river crossings swelled, and visibility at times was somewhere between “misty” and “where has the road gone?” But the team pushed through every challenge—laughing, slipping, conquering, and helping each other as true adventurers do.

And the rewards? Spectacular.

We rode alongside lions at Queen Elizabeth National Park, watched bull elephants rumble past at Murchison Falls, and stood metres from Rothschild’s giraffe in Lake Mburo as they blinked at us with calm curiosity. But the moment that will stay with us forever was sitting quietly in the shadows of Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, sharing the mountain air with a family of gorillas. Time slows down in that jungle. Every rider came out changed.

Bespoke Expeditions: A South Africa-to-Nairobi Epic

We recently received a bespoke tour request of truly epic proportions—a 30-day overland expedition from South Africa to Nairobi.

(this tour might replace our planned Expedition in 2027 depending on logistical challenges)

This monster of a journey will wind through: South Africa → Lesotho → Botswana → Zimbabwe → Zambia → Malawi → Tanzania → Rwanda → Uganda → Kenya

It’s the kind of route that defines a lifetime of adventure: wild landscapes, diverse cultures, national parks, volcanic lakes, high mountains, and some of the best riding the continent has to offer.

We already have 6 riders booked, and because of the logistics involved, spaces are extremely limited. If this sounds like your kind of once-in-a-lifetime ride, please email us for details and to reserve your place.
