Cycling
Explore Africa on two wheels and experience its landscapes from a whole new perspective. Cycle through open plains, countryside and wildlife-rich areas while enjoying a more active and immersive safari experience.
What Is Cycling on Safari?
Cycling offers a fun and active way to explore Africa beyond the traditional safari vehicle. At Nziza, we can arrange cycling experiences at selected properties, allowing you to discover beautiful landscapes, local areas and wildlife at a slower, more personal pace.
Depending on the destination, rides can be guided or self-guided and range from gentle scenic routes to more adventurous trails.
Why Cycle Through the African Bush?
Cycling brings you closer to your surroundings. Instead of watching the landscape through a vehicle window, you can feel the breeze, hear the sounds of nature and take in the scenery as you ride.
Your experience usually begins with a safety briefing and an introduction to the route. With a guide where required, you can explore a variety of terrain and enjoy views of the African landscape. Wildlife sightings may also be possible, depending on the location and route.
Some routes can be physically demanding, so a reasonable level of fitness is recommended. The reward is an active and memorable way to experience Africa.
Things to Do on a Cycling Safari
Cycling experiences vary by property, but can include:
- Guided rides through Laikipia and the Masai Mara in Kenya
- Self-guided cycling routes through the Kalahari at Jack’s Camp in Botswana
- Scenic rides through the Western Cape Winelands in South Africa
- Cycling routes around Hawassa in Ethiopia
- Gentle countryside rides and more challenging off-road trails

Cycling is available at selected Nziza partner properties, including Sosian Lodge and Borana Lodge in Kenya’s Laikipia region, Wild Hill in the Masai Mara, Jack’s Camp in Botswana, Rosenhof Country House and Babylonstoren in South Africa’s Western Cape, Fancourt Hotel in George, and Haile Resort in Ethiopia’s Hawassa region.
