Into Tanzania’s Wild: A Motorbike Safari Through Kilimanjaro & Zanzibar
Embark on an untamed expedition through Africa: Ride Royal Enfields around Kilimanjaro and safari with wild beasts in Arusha before trading dusty plains for turquoise waters on Zanzibar’s spice coast
Overview
The lowdown
This. Is. Adventure. An 11-day, 10-night guided expedition that you’ll be talking about at the pub for the rest of your life. From Kilimanjaro’s volcanic foothills to Zanzibar’s palm-fringed shores, you’ll ride Royal Enfields through Chagga villages, across savannahs teeming with wildlife and past flamingo-flocked lakes. Think sweeping plains, mountain forests, roaring rivers, hidden waterfalls and the looming shadow of a dormant volcano – all whilst ticking off bucket-list wildlife sightings. No binoculars needed. You’re right in the action. By night, traditional African lodges and hearty local meals keep you fueled. Then it’s a short flight to Spice Island – the white sand beaches of dreamy Zanzibar for a catamaran finale. Motorbike. Safari. Culture. Ocean. This is Africa, off-piste.
