What makes our tours special?

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.
