Special feature of this tour:
Aufgrund der aktuellen Situation im Suez Kanal bzw. im Roten Meer mussten wir mit einer wesentlich längeren Anreise nach Mombasa rechnen und einen großzügigen Puffer einplanen. Daher wurde die Container-Verladung der Tour Kenia–Südafrika 2024 vorgezogen und musste schon Anfang September statten.
The tour is carried out with local organisers or organisations.
Tour-individual minimum requirements:
– Ausreichendes Fahrkönnen (Schwierigkeit S1-S2, Offroad/selektiv bis S3, details)
– big machines, boxers etc. are welcome
– die Tour ist auch gut mit Beifahrer:in fahrbar
– Erfahrung im Sand nicht erforderlich, aber bei ein paar Passagen vorteilhaft
