Die Motorradreise durch Uganda bietet eine klare Routenführung, die intensiv durch die beeindruckenden Landschaften des Landes führt. Besonders hervorzuheben ist die technische Vorbereitung, die durch tägliche Briefings und klare GPS-Tracks unterstützt wird, was für eine Gruppe von maximal 8 Personen auf Expert-Niveau entscheidend ist. Der Tag im Bwindi NP für das Gorilla-Trekking war gut in den Ablauf integriert und ermöglichte eine reibungslose Organisation. Diese strukturierte Herangehensweise hat meine Erwartungen an die Effizienz der Tour übertroffen.

Jeder Tag beginnt mit einem Briefing, gefolgt von präzisen GPS-Track-Anweisungen für die Strecken, die zwischen 150 und 300 km umfassen. Besonders hervorzuheben ist der Tag im Bwindi NP für das Gorilla Trekking, der optimal in die Tour integriert ist, ebenso wie die Übernachtungen, die abwechselnd im Zelt und Apartment stattfinden, was eine gute Mischung bietet.

Die Motorradreise durch Uganda bietet eine klar strukturierte Routenplanung, die verschiedene Landschaften und Kulturen kombiniert. Besonders hervorzuheben ist die Streckenführung von Kampala nach Jinja, wo 80% der Strecke asphaltiert sind und die restlichen 20% über Marramstraßen führen. Diese Mischung ermöglicht nicht nur eine angenehme Fahrt, sondern auch einen Einblick in die vielfältige Umgebung. Die 10-tägige Tour ermöglicht es, beeindruckende Highlights wie das Gorilla-Trekking im Bwindi NP und die Sipi Falls zu erleben, während die max. Gruppengröße von 8 Personen eine persönliche Atmosphäre schafft.
