Scooter Trips
We offer guided scooter trips throughout the region along with one monster trip from Dakar to Cape Town. Our trips vary in length from 8 days to 10 weeks. We also offer custom tours to independent travelers and groups. Catch up with us on our contact page if you have a custom itinerary and/or specific dates in mind.
Our most popular trip. Easy to moderate riding on incredibly diverse terrain, from salt flats and jungle to beaches and off-road dirt track. We cover two different countries, but it might as well be three — Casamance, Senegal’s southern province, is a world apart. A great introduction to West Africa all around, and the perfect way to discover the diverse culture, food and music in this corner of the world. Want to join us on a trip to Senegal, Gambia and the Casamance?
This is an expedition in every sense of the word. We will travel north from Dakar and cross the Senegal River into Mauritania on route to the capital Nouakchott. We then head into the Adrar region and the ancient Saharan trading towns of Chinguetti and Ouadane. Our goal is to reach the capital of the Tiris Zemmour region, Zouérat. Then we catch the train! The itinerary is loose, and the conditions can be tough. But hey, you are riding a scooter into the Sahara Desert.
Take our Jaam Rek trip and add a week in Guinea-Bissau, a leading candidate for our favorite country in West Africa. We will party in the capital before exploring the Bijagos Islands, an archipelago of rarely visited matriarchal societies, untouched beaches and cerulean water. For the 2022-23 season, our two trips to Guinea-Bissau coincide with New Year’s Eve and Carnival 🎉. Want to join us on a trip to Bissau and Bijagos Islands?
A challenging and unpredicatable ride from Bissau to the Fouta Djallon of Guinea, the so-called Water Tower of West Africa, an expansive region of mind-bending scenery. This is a 2-country trip that allows us to explore vibrant lusophone Guinea-Bissau before discovering the wonder of the Guinean highlands. Endless gorges and canyons, waterfalls, and some of the only mountains in West Africa.
Our most challenging and adventurous travel experience. This is not an expedition for the faint of heart. At the end of the day, if it was easy, every one would have ridden a scooter from one side of the African Continent to the other. Ten weeks after we set off from the most westerly point on the African continent, we will be sitting at the foothills of Table Mountain in Cape Town. The tough times will now just be stories to regale our friends and family with for a lifetime. Does traveling across the continent on a scooter sound like the trip for you?
