GENERAL INFO. In co-operation with our partner Motosafari in Kenya we offer this very varied and fascinating motorcycle-safari in the heart of Africa. The sea and the beach at the Sasawa– Beach house at the Indian Ocean combined with a wonderful motorcycle safari to Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. Depending on you arrival time we can start the first day with a short motor tour through the evergreen Shimba Hills or you can relax at Sawasawa beach-house an enjoy the sea and sun. The day after we’ll leave for Tanzania. We drive through different landscapes such as the great green area of the Usambara Mountains, which is called the "vegetable garden" of Tanzania. Then the vast, hot savannah with huge sisal plantations will dominate our scenery. And of course, around the mighty snow-covered Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest mountain on the east side with tropical banana plantations and the grain-fields on the north side, and on the west the arid savannah where the Masaai are trying to survive with their cattle. The road takes us through Tsavo national park in Kenya. There is an opportunity to visit the immense Tsavo National Park for a genuine wild safari experience. Savannah, mountains, plantations, volcanoes, people in their villages, white beaches, wild animals, snorkeling, amazing views and especially the friendly people who will welcome you to Africa are the highlights of this motorcycle safari.
