Weather and climate are important factors to consider when planning the best time to visit Africa, depending on the country you want to visit. The best season for a motorcycle tour in Africa differs from South Africa to Morocco or Rwanda. If you want to travel in Africa by motorcycle, you should go during the dry season. The southern summer, from October to March, is the best time to head to South Africa for a motorcycle adventure. As regards the climate, it is dry with very pleasant temperatures. If you want to take a motorcycle tour in Morocco, spring and autumn are ideal. The dry season in Rwanda is from June to September. In the region around Swaziland and Lesotho, we recommend setting off in September or October. All in all, with the continent’s diverse geography and climate and our wide range of tour options, you can set off on one of our motorcycle road trips in Africa at any time of the year.

So come and see us to chat about your plans for touring with a motorbike in Africa.

On your motorcycle tour in Africa there are different types of tours depending on your preferences and your riding experience. What do you fancy? A motorcycle Adventure Tour in South Africa, or perhaps a Motorcycle Ramble in Morocco? Our motorcycle tours in Africa are for experienced bikers with a motorcycle license and a good deal of motivation. Some of our more relaxed routes, called Luxury Tours, offer more time exploring local culture and with superior hotel accommodation. What’s more, many of our motorcycle tours in Africa are perfect for partners. No matter which African country you visit, all of our motorcycle tours are a mix of exploring, meeting locals and cultural excursions.

We offer many motorcycle tours in South Africa, mainly between September and March. In a small group with a shared passion, you’ll set off for unforgettable experiences. When you opt for a group tour with Vintage Rides, the tour price is lower than if you go it alone. In line with our pricing policy, if a solo traveller joins a group, s/he will share a room with another traveller of the same sex unless s/he prefers to pay a supplement for a single room. Are you ready to visit the beautiful city of Cape Town? Or would you prefer spending a few days on safari in Kruger National Park or visiting Victoria Falls? If you opt to stay for some extra days in country after you tour Africa by motorcycle, we can arrange different excursions for you. What’s more, if you want to form your own group, we can craft a tour that meets you specific desires.

Nestled in the heart of the Great Lakes region, Rwanda is nicknamed the “Land of a Thousand Hills”. It’s a little-known destination, yet ideal for discovering part of Africa by motorcycle. Rwanda is a great destination if you want to get away from winter in the Northern Hemisphere and enjoy more pleasant temperatures. With lush mountains, safaris and lakes as far as the eye can see, this country offers incredible vistas. You can dance along the line between the modernity of the capital and authentic rural landscapes. Rwanda is also one of the only countries in Africa where you can spot mountain gorillas. What is stopping you from visiting the land of a thousand hills?

Do you dream of travelling in Africa by motorcycle? Morocco is the only African country with access to both the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean.
