After a flight into Malaga airport, you'll make your way to our luxury staging hotel to meet your group and have a relaxing first night ready for your rental bike to greet you the following morning. Riding south to Algeciras you'll meet up with the rest of your tour group who started in the UK, ready for tomorrow's crossing of the Straits of Gibraltar which is fast and worry-free.

Clearing customs at the modern Tanger Med border crossing is equally a breeze, and before you know it we're riding off into Africa! We ride up into the mountains and gorges of the countryside that surrounds Chefchaouen. Known for its beautiful blue washed buildings and narrow little lanes this town provides our first immersion into the Moroccan way of life.

Next on our adventure comes Fes, a true cultural hub full of vibrant colours and endless souks, you can’t help but get swept up in the sights and smells of the old world atmosphere that engulfs this famous city. After a day exploring Fez we ride on to the Middle Atlas Mountains and the breathtaking Gorges de Ziz with the magnificent river Ziz snaking its way down the gorge alongside us. Lonely Planet described this spot as ‘rich and untouristed’ and it’s not difficult to see why!

Saharan sand dunes

For the true adventurers at heart what could be better than a night camping under the stars in the desert? Sitting around the campfire in the dunes with delicious food lets you unleash your inner nomad. After a blissful night we have a day off to play in the dunes and then get back on the bikes the following morning to ride through the Todra Gorge; A series of limestone river canyons in the eastern part of the High Atlas Mountains. We then weave our way down through the spectacular Vallee du Dades, whose dried gorges carved out by the Dades River host hairpin after hairpin and breathtaking scenery to boot!

Staying in the Atlas Mountains we then ride one of the finest roads in Africa, The Tizi-n-Tichka pass. This gateway to the Sahara desert reaches an elevation of 2,260 metres making it the highest mountain pass in north Africa. The hairpins this pass is famous for are truly exhilarating.

After all the excitement on the mountain passes we have a day off in another of Morocco’s beautiful cities- Marrakech, along with mosques, palaces and gardens to explore there are thriving souks selling textiles, pottery and jewellery to meander around. We then ride up the coast to the Moroccan capital of Rabat where you visit the King Mohammed Golden Mausoleum and from here we venture north making our way back to Tangier once more to get the ferry back to Spain. Then a short hop back to Malaga for a final taste of 4* luxury and fantastic tapas, before flying home after breakfast.

Riding a motorcycle in Africa truly is an unforgettable experience. We have designed this to be 100% on road so it’s suitable for riders of all experience levels. This tour gives you the chance to meet amazing people, explore a magnificent culture, taste incredible food and most importantly ride some life-changing, mind-blowing roads.

Experience the rich and enticing swirl of sensations that Africa has to offer!
