In terms of concept, Explo-Tours GmbH was the godfather, which has carried out motorcycle tours of this type for many years.
The focal points of the tried-and-tested concept include:
+ driving as freely as possible
+ without big luggage
+ with your own motorbike
+ on an escorted tour with support vehicle
Join us on your enduro adventure from Namibia to Kenya..
The route of the planned Namibia - Kenya Tour 2023 leads from Walvis Bay (Namibia) via the Caprivi and the upper Zambezi also to the Chobe National Park (Botswana) and to the Victoria Falls.
From the lower Zambezi we will travel through Zambia to the Luangwa. In Malawi we will have a safe rest at Lake Malawi before continuing to Tanzania and Mikumi National Park. In the Usambara and Pare Mountains, anyone who wants can satisfy their hunger for curves before we move into camp at the foot of Kilimanjaro.
After a lap around the big volcano, we head towards Mombasa on great dirt roads and enjoy the beach life before the tour ends.
Admittedly, we are absolute Africa fans and were very sad that our previous tour operator Explo-Tours no longer offered this type of tour.
With zebrafari motorbike adventures on an African tour again, we were very excited and were not disappointed in any way.
Before the start of the tour, we received detailed and timely information, tips and assistance from the organiser. This all-round feel-good package was to continue on our 4-week tour. Clemens and Josef proved to be very well prepared. Flexibility and active problem-solving on site are very important to the guys.
Richi, our local chef, motorbike towing service and drone rescuer spoiled us with delicious food and was generally always in a good mood.
The group was really great, always happy to come back.
Speaking of always being happy..............we have already signed up for the next tour.
Four weeks of enduro touring through Namibia while it is winter in Germany: this is the ideal winter escape. Namibia is an enduro paradise with only a few asphalt roads and a large selection of tracks in all levels of difficulty, so that you can ride sometimes easy, sometimes challenging routes, depending on your form on the day. Add to this the grandiose nature and endless expanse.
The support vehicle transports the luggage and provides cold beer in the evening at the camp. That's how it can be endured.
My thanks go to the Zebrafari team for the perfect organisation!

Africa at its best:
LECKER 6000 km Zebra-Namibia-Graveltour, NOT for wimps: from Walvis Bay -> Orange River to Kunene/Epupafalls/Angola/Etosha: awesome shit!!!Who likes sandy + slopes, packs studds on the bike and finds here a real adventure tour, Attention: Africa virus = repeat offenders DANGER!
and find the zebras behind the Etosha bar: I swear!
Thanks to Clemens, Josef and Richi, Ela + Bernd + the rest of the gang
With shit delicious biker greeting
KTM-Peter (on Husky 701)
And once again the Africa virus = repeat offender danger had infected us.
On our 4-week Namibia-Kenya tour, Zebrafari - motorbike adventures once again proved to be the perfect organiser. African cuisine thanks to our cook Osman from Tanzania left nothing to be desired. Simply delicious!
The tour planning was very varied with many special stages according to the motto:
Not just biking, but also getting to know the country and its people.
The guys from Zebrafari did their job perfectly! Many, many thanks for the great time.
.... one of the last real African adventures :
FROM THE ATLANTIC TO THE INDIAN OCEAN: 6600km, 6 COUNTRIES, 5 NATIONAL PARKS
Whoever sees the seal pups at Cape Cross on the cold Benguela Current,
und gleich dahinter den heißen Wüstensand der Namib/Erongo, die Victoriafalls am Ende des Caprivi Zipfels, den Hoba Meteorit, ne Zambesi-Hippo-Bootstour und die tolle Enduro Leopards-Hill-Road in Luangwa erfahren hat,
enjoy your own tent directly on the beach of Lake Malawi, the delicious on-board cuisine +
2x cool water from the fridge + lake.
No matter whether you are an inexperienced Swedish 20 tonne bus driver who sinks his pink trolley into the sand or just need a giant spanner:
the Zebrafari-Truck + Team Josef/Clemens box everyone out!
From the elephants, wildebeests, lions, giraffes and zebras of the Tanzanian Mikumi National Park, you jet up the winding roads into the green mountainous region of the Usambara violets, where tea, bananas, mangoes and all kinds of tropical fruit are served at the roadside; after a fully digital border crossing into Kenya, Kilimanjaro appears early in the morning as you circle it with a snow cap. At the end of the day, a great hotel pool with a cool refreshment awaits the now experienced enduro bums at the beach through the fun and lively traffic of the Mio city of Mombasa.
If you get 4 weeks off from your boss + wife, you absolutely have to find out - before you retire: Is it worth it - ARE YOU READY TO RACE?
The guys from Zebrafari did their job perfectly! Many, many thanks for the great time.
yeees,
it was the first experience of this kind for me,
i.e. the first trip in Africa and the first trip with enduro tracks and then across Africa from Namibia to Kenya!
Thanks to your super service from the beginning of the booking (with information before the trip, your preparation of the tour, route and overnight stays) to your service on the tour, 24 hours a day, it was a really great experience for me:Your provision of breakfast and dinner was really delicious. A big compliment to your chef Othman.
But really the best thing: if something didn't go according to plan, it was made to fit! Can't be done, didn't exist!
Thanks for piggybacking my motorbike when I couldn't ride!
From Namibia to Kenya on your own motorbike.
Wonderful landscapes, great people and no luggage on the motorbike.No "herd" riding and the right routes for everyone.
Off-road driving made "easy".
A great tour. And excellent support! The all-round carefree package!!!
An adventurous journey with your own motorbike 6400km across Africa (Namibia - Kenya).
Everything was perfect from start to finish.A great trip for anyone who wants to experience Africa on a motorbike without luggage.
The community and co-operation with everyone involved was a great thing.
Kudos to the Zebrafari team and keep up the good work.
