Having your own motorbike on site would of course be ideal, but alternatively, in Kenya, for example, you can hire local motorbikes for very little money (approx. 40 USD/day).
This means that an extra technical adventure is almost guaranteed 😉
Tour-individual minimum requirements of the SCOUTING Tour:
– A healthy sense of adventure and patience, even in unpredictable situations
– Exceptional flexibility on tour (a lot can go wrong on a scouting tour)
– realistic assessment of one's own abilities
– Sufficient driving skills (difficulty S1-S3, off-road options selective and short passages especially in the rain up to S4, details)
– Gravel experience required, including sandy slopes (nobody should be ‘afraid of sand’)
– Experience in deep sand not essential, but ideal for some shorter passages
– Having your own motorbike on site would of course be ideal, but alternatively: willingness to hire a local motorbike, e.g. in Kenya
Join us on your Scouting Enduro adventure Kenya – Uganda.
In preparation for the zebrafari ‘Uganda Tour’ in 2026, we are planning a scouting tour in the direction described above (planned) or in the opposite direction.
The route of the planned Kenya - Uganda Tour 2026/2027 leads from Mombasa (Kenya) westwards via Voi and Nairobi.
In Kenya, Mt Kenya and Lake Nakuru or Bogoria await us.
The tour continues to the sources of the Nile and Lake Victoria.
We soon cross the equator, pass Queen Elizabeth Park and Lake Bunyonyi.
Optional: An unforgettable gorilla-trecking
We reach Rwanda via Kigosi and Singida and things are suddenly different.
Lake Natron and the Ngorongoro Crater are on the way.
We reach Marangu at the foot of Kilimanjaro via Arusha National Park and set off on a Kili round trip
The journey takes us over and through the Pare and Usambara Mountains to the Irente Viewpoint with its fantastic views.
We return to Kenya via Tanga.
