Yes. Rwanda is one of the safest countries in Africa to travel in, with well-kept main roads, a welcoming population and short distances. Our local team knows every stage, and the support vehicle follows the group throughout the tour.

The tour is rated Intermediate: mostly small secondary roads and rolling tracks, about a quarter of the distance off tarmac, and 5 to 6 hours of riding a day. You should ride regularly and feel at ease on gravel.

Yes, as an option. On the morning of day 2, near the Virunga volcanoes, riders who have booked the trek set off with a local guide to meet a family of mountain gorillas; the others ride to the market of Ruhengeri. The permit is not included and must be booked well in advance.

During the dry seasons, from December to February and from June to September. Our departures run in January, February, June and July.

A Royal Enfield Classic 350, comfortable on the winding roads of the hills and on rolling tracks. A pillion is welcome at £3,090 (€3,490). The group is limited to 10 motorcycles.
