Continent Profile

MOTORCYCLE TRAVEL AFRICA

<p>Motorcycle tours in Africa put you on routes that change character within hours: tarmac out of Marrakech, red gravel through Namibia's Damaraland, dust tracks across the Kenyan and Tanzanian bush, and river crossings on the way to Victoria Falls. Every tour on this page runs combo terrain, mixing paved sections with genuine off-road riding, for skill levels ranging from complete beginners to advanced riders comfortable with sand and rock.</p><p>We currently run 15 guided motorcycle tours across the continent, from a 9-day ride through Kenya's Maasai Mara to the 55-day TransAfrica GO WEST expedition. In between sit the 13-day Namibia to South Africa crossing, the 16-day Marrakech to Dakar route, the 21-day Marrakech to Ghana expedition and the 45-day Trans Africa East route. What you will not find here are single-day rentals or unplanned solo routes: every tour is fully planned by OVERCROSS, and most run with a guide riding alongside you.</p><p>Riding days follow a similar rhythm across our Africa tours: your motorcycle, luggage carried by a support vehicle, and a small group that usually numbers between 4 and 16 riders. Most tours run with an experienced guide at the front, reading river crossings, sand and border logistics so you can focus on the road ahead.</p>

What You Need to Know

What Makes Africa Different to Ride

Three things change the moment you leave the tarmac: the landscape, the surface and the rhythm of each day.

54 countries

Landscapes That Change Overnight

One tour alone can cross Morocco's Atlas passes, Namibia's Damaraland gravel plains and the bushveld tracks of Kenya and Tanzania. Altitude and heat shift constantly along the way, and fuel, water and shade stops become part of route planning, not just comfort.

Combo terrain

Tarmac to Riverbed in a Single Day

Smooth roads in the north often end at washboard gravel, river crossings or deep sand further south. Tyre choice matters more than horsepower here. On an Africa motorcycle tour you move daily between asphalt, technical off-road sections and lively town traffic.

Border to border

Culture Between the Stages

The experience off the bike shifts as fast as the terrain. Roadside stops in Morocco, busy moped traffic in West African towns near Togo and Benin, and remote villages on the road to Malawi set a completely different rhythm from one leg to the next. Border crossings take time and schedules matter less once you leave the cities.
