Our Fleet
We operate a fleet of 14 Honda CRF1000 and XRV750 motorcycles. All the bikes are owned and lovingly taken care of by us. We're not shy to say we're big Honda Africa Twin fans. After 6 years of riding these bikes all over the African continent we've grown to love their reliability, great handling and ability to take whatever African roads throw our way. They're not the most powerful bikes but are great fun to ride. We're growing the Africa Twin fanbase with each adventure we set out on.

We love the Honda Africa Twin XRV 750. These classic motorcycles are strong, comfortable, easy to maintain and capable of pretty much anything African roads can throw our way. Our guests who ride them leave as fans.
The Honda Africa Twins were everything a person could need to travel the rugged terrain. I own a BMW F800gs, and was still blown away by the maneuverability of the AT and it’s ability to tackle a variety of conditions. Andrew’s knowledge of the mechanical aspect of the bike and riding expertise provided a completely worry free traveling experience.
