iRide partnered with a tour agency to create an unforgettable 7-day adventure. Starting in Arusha, the route took riders through the scenic Usambara mountains, with its breathtaking waterfalls and diverse wildlife. The journey continued to Tarangire and Lake Manya National Parks where riders hopped into a 4×4 and were able to see the big 5! The tour then headed to Ngorongoro crater with views of the Great Rift Valley prior to returning to Arusha. Some riders extended their trip by heading to Zanzibar for some much needed R&R on the beaches of this tropical island off the coast of Tanzania.
Despite challenges like bad weather, iRideArusha’s guides expertly managed the situation, ensuring a seamless experience with support vehicles and mechanics on standby. The participants praised the diverse landscapes, wildlife encounters, and cultural interactions. This tour demonstrated iRideArusha’s commitment to providing top-notch service, reliability, and a truly memorable adventure.
For a quick yet impactful experience, iRideArusha crafted a 3-day expedition with a tour partner. The journey began in Arusha, traversing the scenic hills of Kisongo to the iconic Lake Manyara National Park. Day two featured an exciting game drive and a ride to Ngorongoro crater. The final day took participants to Lake Natron known for its spectacular views and abundant flamingoes.
Throughout the tour, iRideArusha’s team ensured safety and satisfaction with daily briefings and flexible itineraries. Despite occasional challenges like bad weather, the tour was a resounding success, with participants highlighting the stunning views, wildlife encounters, and rich cultural experiences. This tour showcased iRideArusha’s expertise in organizing seamless, high-standard tours that left a lasting impression on all involved.
iRide partnered with Motor Trails and Dragon Trails in 2023 for a truly unique expedition from Cape Town to Nairobi. iRide shipped the bikes by container down to Cape Town where over 10 courageous dutch riders started the expedition back to Nairobi. The tour made its way through Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Tanzania, Rwanda, and Uganda back to Kenya. The group experienced countless adventures along the way from unforeseen border shenanigans, to adverse weather conditions and unexpected animal encounters.
iRide was responsible for the motorcycles as well as the support vehicle. An iRide mechanic accompanied the tour and carried out daily maintenance but also fixed several bigger issues including 2 failed crankshafts. At one point additional spares had to be sent by plane from Nairobi to Lusaka to top-up the existing spare inventory. An iRide driver was responsible for carrying all of the luggage in the support vehicle. It was a difficult task keeping up with the riders across very rough terrain. In the end when the group got back to Nairobi, there was a sense of jubilation and relief for having completed over 2 months of riding across southern Africa.
