Bicycle Africa specializes in medium soft bike tours / cultural adventure for Westerners seeking to learn more about Africa at a person-to-person level not usually available to tourists. We offer bicycle tours in all regions in Africa because no one place or country in Africa epitomizes Africa. All programs are small group (6 to 10 people), most are self-contained bicycle touring -- a few have support vehicles. Each program is unique and highlights the diversity of the culture, social institutions and environment, and the complexity of the history, economy and society. The cycling varies from program to program but is generally easy to moderate, averaging under 40 miles (65 km) per days, with side trips available for those with extra energy. Cyclists from 9 to 70 have enjoy these holidays. Accommodations reflect the diversity of Africa and range from western style hotels to basic traditional village housing. Participants receive comprehensive predeparture materials with detailed instructions on setting up your bike, packing, training and other information so they are properly prepared. The program is ideal for the realist who appreciates the world and the wonderful rewards to be gained for the modest rigors of bicycle touring. Programs are open to everyone. We do not restrict participation based on race, creed, color, national origins, religion, gender, sexual orientation.
