Motorcycle trips Kenya: Adventurous tours & animal experiences

The perfect time for these experiences is between June and October during the famous animal migrations. Your adventure in Kenya begins here!

Bike & Rider Level

Does this trip match your riding level?

Our Kenya motorcycle tours cover a real range of riding. The easiest is the 9-day Maasai Mara Safari Ride, which runs mostly on firm gravel and dirt tracks and suits riders with solid piste experience. The tours through Aberdare National Park, the Rift Valley and on to the Indian Ocean over 13 days are more technical: loose surfaces, deep potholes and washboard gravel call for confidence standing on the pegs and braking off-road.

You won't ride your own bike here. Because of the long journey to East Africa, OVERCROSS provides a prepared enduro motorcycle on every Kenya tour, together with a guide and a support vehicle that carries luggage and handles technical backup along the way.

Depending on the tour you're on the road for 9 to 13 days, covering daily stages of roughly 150 to 225 km on a mix of gravel, dirt tracks and short tarmac sections between Nairobi, the Rift Valley, the Maasai Mara and, on some tours, the Indian Ocean coast. Each day opens with a briefing on the route and GPS tracks, then runs through parks like Aberdare or Amboseli and along Lake Naivasha, support vehicle close behind. Evenings bring camps at the edge of the reserves or mid-range hotels and lodges, often with a chance to spot wildlife or meet the Maasai.

Experience required

The Maasai Mara Safari Ride needs only solid gravel riding experience, since it is our easiest Kenya tour. For the routes through Aberdare National Park, the Rift Valley, and on to the Indian Ocean you should be confident standing up off-road, braking on loose surfaces and handling potholes.

Own bike allowed

No. Because of the long journey to East Africa, OVERCROSS provides a prepared enduro motorcycle on every Kenya tour, along with a guide and a support vehicle for luggage and technical backup.

Daily distance

Depending on the tour you're on the road for 9 to 13 days, with stages of roughly 150 to 225 km a day on a mix of gravel, dirt tracks, and short tarmac sections.

Typical day

Mornings start with a briefing on the route and GPS tracks, then several hours of riding through parks like Aberdare or Amboseli and along Lake Naivasha, with the support vehicle close behind. Evenings bring camps at the edge of the reserves or mid-range hotels and lodges.

Best time to ride

Kenya rides best in the dry windows: January-February keep the Rift Valley and Maasai Mara firm, and July-October is peak season for the savannah routes. The Aberdare highlands stay rideable most of the year. Plan around these windows and you get dust instead of mud.

FAQ

Booking questions

What's included in the price of a Kenya motorcycle tour?
Every OVERCROSS Kenya tour includes a prepared enduro motorcycle, an experienced guide, and a support vehicle for luggage and technical backup. Depending on the tour, accommodation ranges from camps at the edge of the reserves to mid-range hotels and lodges, usually with breakfast. Flights, drinks, and most national park entry fees are not included.
Do I need to bring my own motorcycle?
No. Because of the long journey to East Africa, OVERCROSS provides a prepared enduro motorcycle for every Kenya tour, so you fly out and simply pick up your bike on arrival in Nairobi. Guide and support vehicle are included on every trip.
How big are the travel groups?
Group size depends on the tour: the Maasai Mara Safari Ride takes up to 12 riders, while the more technical enduro tours through Aberdare National Park and on to the Indian Ocean run with a maximum of 7 riders, so the guide can give everyone close attention.
Which Kenya tour suits my riding level?
The 9-day Maasai Mara Safari Ride runs mostly on firm gravel and suits confident piste riders. The tours through Aberdare National Park, the Rift Valley, and the 13-day route on to the Indian Ocean are more technical, with loose surfaces and potholed tracks, and are better suited to riders with off-road experience. Tell us your level when you enquire and we will point you to the right trip.
How does booking and the deposit work?
Once you send an enquiry, you receive a personal offer along with the travel protection certificate that OVERCROSS provides on every trip. The booking becomes binding once you confirm it, and you'll then receive your tour folder, packing list, and all further travel details before departure.
What should I budget for beyond the tour price?
International flights to Nairobi, travel health insurance that covers motorcycling, and, depending on the tour, drinks, optional excursions, or a single room supplement are not part of the base price. Entry fees for national park excursions are usually paid locally as well.
