More than a race

Where every ride is an invitation

Our carefully built four-day gravel adventure takes you from the striking foothills of Kilimanjaro deep into the rugged interior — a rare mix of sporting challenge, discovery and genuine local life.

Picture it: riding empty gravel roads, technical trails through wild country and panoramas that reach all the way to the horizon. Every day is a new chapter — full of adrenaline, cultural encounters and real connection with nature and local communities.

From start to finish this is more than a race. It is a journey.

Designed for every rider

Whether you take on the full high-intensity course or the more accessible route, every rider gets:

  • Epic gravel riding through remote landscapes
  • Genuine cultural encounters along the way
  • Warm local hospitality in every village
  • Pure nature and endless views
  • The real thrill of African adventure
  • Safari tour in Tarangire National park

Gravel bike hire available locally (€ 45 per day)
