Alex
In 2006, after travelling 20,000 km by motorbike in India, Alex founded Vintage Rides. Since then, he has been developing our concept in more than 20 countries.
On the agenda
Riding the trails (approximately 70% of the itinerary) of the Great Rift Valley is a childhood dream come true, it's riding freely in the heart of the savanna. Here, zebras, antelopes, and giraffes populate the edges of the trails, living their freedom too. This Tanzania motorcycle tour on a Royal Enfield Himalayan promises total immersion in the heart of breathtaking landscapes!

YOUR MOTORCYCLE TRIP IN TANZANIA

10 stages - 559 miles
Kilimanjaro International Airport - Arusha Étape 1/10
Kilimanjaro International Airport - Arusha
Here begins your Africa motorcycle tour. Upon your arrival at the airport, you will be welcomed and transferred to your hotel in Arusha, offering a splendid view of Mount Meru. Meet your motorcycle guide and the rest of the group, ready for an unforgettable adventure.
Arusha – Matadi Étape 2/10 62 miles including 25 to 37 miles of trail
Arusha – Matadi
Our Royal Enfield Himalayans cover the first miles towards Kilimanjaro, in the heart of the Great Rift Valley. We bypass the impressive Mount Meru before reaching our lodge, on the green hills of Matadi. This first day ends with a breathtaking panorama of Africa's highest peak, whose summit is often hidden by its own microclimate. Catching a glimpse of the snowy peak is always a stroke of luck.
Matadi – Lake Natron Étape 3/10 124 miles including 118 miles of trail
Matadi – Lake Natron
We cross vast desert plains and encounter those who inhabit the surroundings: antelopes, giraffes, zebras... After a lunch break in the bush, the afternoon promises to be epic amidst the volcanoes. Some sandy sections make this day more intense than usual.
Lake Natron Tour Étape 4/10 31 miles of trail
Lake Natron Tour
We set off to discover the shores of Lake Natron, just a few wheel turns from Kenya! During the morning, we explore the Ngare Sero River gorges. We willingly let ourselves be mesmerized by the rose-red and azure blue reflections of the lake.
Lake Natron – Karatu Étape 5/10 75 miles including 71 miles of trail
Lake Natron – Karatu
A change of scenery today! We leave the heat of Natron and ride south into the Great Rift Valley: an opportunity to get closer to the magnificent Ol Doinyo Lengai and admire the Maasai steppes as far as the eye can see. We follow the escarpment, dotted here and there with umbrella acacias and magnificent candelabra cacti, all the way to Lake Manyara, a picturesque and enchanting setting dear to Ernest Hemingway. At the end of the stage, we gain altitude on a beautiful ribbon of asphalt, cross cultivated plateaus, and finally reach our lodge, at the edge of the forest covering the Ngorongoro ridge.
Karatu – Lake Eyasi Étape 6/10 50 miles including 25 miles of trail
Karatu – Lake Eyasi
Depart from Lake Manyara to reach the splendid Lake Eyasi. Ascend the majestic Rift Valley escarpment again towards the Ngorongoro Crater, before turning onto a gravel road winding through lush forests and offering panoramic views all the way to Lake Eyasi. Arrive at your destination for lunch, followed by check-in at your lodge for the night. In the afternoon, you can visit a Hadzabe tribe. Return to the lodge at sunset for the night.
Lake Eyasi - Lake Burunge Étape 7/10 124 miles including 87 miles of trail
Lake Eyasi - Lake Burunge
Early departure for what may be the most beautiful stage of the trip. The first 25 miles, in the kingdom of baobabs, are also the most technical: a lot of sand as well as some very steep and rocky sections. The term “Adventure Raid” takes on its full meaning here! We finally reach a well-maintained trail and the beautiful hilly region of Mbulu, a picturesque village where we have lunch. In the afternoon, the trail brings us back to the edge of the Great Rift escarpment, into which we descend via a beautiful series of switchbacks, before reaching our lodge, on the border of Tarangire National Park.
Tarangire National Park Étape 8/10 86 miles
Tarangire National Park
Today, you'll leave your motorcycle behind to embark on a 4x4 specially designed for an unforgettable adventure: a safari in the heart of Tarangire National Park. You'll leave your lodge early in the morning to reach this nearby park, where you'll spend the day exploring the wildlife. Renowned for its biodiversity, Tanzania's Tarangire Park is home to a wide variety of animals, including elephants, lions, cheetahs, leopards, buffaloes, and many more. In the late afternoon, return to your lodge for a moment of relaxation before enjoying a delicious dinner with an unobstructed view of the African bush.
Lake Burunge – Arusha Étape 9/10 81 miles
Lake Burunge – Arusha
We take our time for this last stage connecting Lake Burunge to the city of Arusha. The arid landscapes gradually fade, giving way to the hustle and bustle of the city.
Arusha - Kilimanjaro International Airport Étape 10/10
Arusha - Kilimanjaro International Airport
Depending on your flight schedule, you'll have time to enjoy the charm and markets of Arusha for a few more hours. Transfer to the international airport.
