No matter what your skill and fitness level, there is a biking excursion for you. Many of us haven’t ridden a bike since we were kids and have forgotten the feeling of freedom that comes with that. Add in the beautiful natural surrounds of Kenya or Tanzania and it’s the perfect recipe for happiness.
E-Biking has made the fun of being on a bike in wild terrains accessible to everyone. At Borana in Kenya with WildRides, you can explore the valleys, hills and plains with the wind in your hair as you follow a track through the wilderness. Often encountering wildlife, your guides will always ensure you approach safely and quietly to ensure no one is caught by surprise. You’ll cover a lot more distance than walking, and this is a wonderful way for the not-so-fit to get back on a bike!
To get your heart rate up and your brain cells buzzing, we recommend mountain biking around the lower slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, and maybe higher up, depending on your skill and fitness level. This is a fantastic adventure that combines stunning natural scenery, physical activity, and cultural experiences. The mountain-biking routes around Kilimanjaro offer a unique opportunity to explore the local villages, coffee plantations, and see wildlife, while enjoying the thrill of riding on challenging trails.
You need a good level of fitness and the appropriate gear. Before setting out, your experienced guides will discuss what you are after, whether it be a relaxed cycle along dirt tracks or something more adrenaline pumping.
Quad biking is extremely popular for good reason. These sturdy four-wheelers are easy to operate and can cover all sorts of terrain. A really fun quad-biking excursion is to explore Mount Meru, starting in Arusha in Tanzania. You will ride through rugged and scenic terrain, including dusty tracks, riverbeds, and rocky hills. You will also get to see various wildlife, such as giraffes, zebras, wildebeest and gazelles, as well as different bird species.
For those wanting something truly wild and wonderful, we recommend the quad biking with Lattitude Adventures that operates from Koros Camp near Lake Turkana in northern Kenya. This unique experience takes you to areas you wouldn’t be able to normally access. Following sandy riverbeds, you’ll traverse deep into this remote wilderness, immersing yourself in the stark beauty and encountering resident tribes on your adventure.
