A Different Way to Travel West Africa
We run small group adventure tours in West Africa with the independent traveler in mind.
Back on the Road for the 2025-26 Season
New non-riding trips and all of our old favorites
We started this travel company in 2017. Back then, all of our trips were two-wheeled adventures, powered by modest 110 cc engines and an endless curiosity about this under-visited corner of Africa. Eight years later, that curiosity continues to drive the project, but we now have as many trips off the bikes as we do on them. At some point, we realized that the bikes lent themselves to a style of travel – slow and immersive – that we could adapt to other modes of transport. This upcoming season we have non-riding trips to Cape Verde and Mauritania, along with a 4-country jaunt from Ghana to Nigeria that includes the annual Voodoo Festival in Benin (this last one is only available to members of our email list, a good incentive to sign up!). Of course, we also have our usual favorites around Senegal, The Gambia and Guinea-Bissau — the itineraries on our long-standing trips just keep getting better and better. We will be putting more trips online in the weeks to come, but you can see the current line-up here. As always, holler if you are interested in particular trips or dates that are not already listed.
See you on the road,

Trips and Tours
Immersive travel experiences that allow you to discover West Africa on its own terms.
Whether it’s on a scooter, walking with camels, or in a 4×4, we are on an unending journey to learn more about this under-visited corner of the world. Join one of our tours for a unique and unforgettable travel experience. See our calendar of trips here.
Scooter Trips
The bikes are easy to ride and operate. They are not particularly fast, and that’s the point.
Imagine feeling the breeze on your skin. Seeing birds flying overhead and monkeys darting across the road. Imagine being able to stop wherever and whenever you want for a photo, or to strike up a conversation with a local. The bikes give you the freedom to travel at your own pace. We offer multi-country scooter trips of varying lengths, from three days to ten weeks.
Memories for a lifetime
Whether you join us for a scooter trip or a classic tour, our approach to travel is the same.
Classic Tours
Adventure, discovery, unscripted moments. Our tours are all about unfiltered exploration.
We offer everything from tailor made tours to small group trips with set itineraries. Whether you want to go on a surf holiday to some of the best breaks in the region, discover local culture and history at one of many annual festivals, or observe increasingly rare wildlife, we have something for everyone. Our excellent network of drivers, guides and hosts have become like family over the years. They would be thrilled to invite you into their world.
