Wow! Just wow!
What an unbelievable array of experiences we have just had. MotoAventures have done it again… From the awe inspiring views of Victoria Falls to the majestic Fish Eagles of lake Malawi. Throughout the journey I felt completely immersed in the ‘real Africa’. Read more
FLASHBACK to 1999 & how MOTOAVENTURES got started – – and more
Our plan was Tanzania. John was born there, had biked from London to Cape Town solo, & knew the trails. So in 1995 we flew his Super Tenere to Nairobi & spent an eventful time biking around to check things out, only to find out it couldn’t happen as they required us to invest a minimum $250.000 & put it in a local’s name!! 1996. Back to Andorra to kick-start (Hondas 😊) our vision to make off-road biker’s dreams into a reality. Read more
LESOTHO – 10 days in the “Kingdom of the Sky”
My touring to date has been with friends on roads in northern Europe, so signing up for a mixed on and off road tour of southern Africa with a group of strangers was going to be a new experience.
Riding between 200km – 350km a day, our routes criss-crossed the border between South Africa and Lesotho. Rarely dipping below 5,000ft we moved between the wide open high veldt and the majestic scenery of the Drakensburg mountains where twice we rode over passes higher than 10,000ft. Read more
WARM HEART OF AFRICA 2019
Summed up, by Su
THE WARM HEART OF AFRICA
We finished our big road adventures with one of the best, by offering a once-only adventure in September 2019. Named “The Warm Heart of Africa” because this is what Africans call Malawi, and Malawi was the central point, “heart”, of this journey.

Matobo Hills To Harare Distance: 422km, Day 4
Description:
Today we turn west and having skirted round Bulawayo yesterday, today we’ll have the pleasure of experiencing driving through this relaxed and attractive city, the second largest in the country. With its wide, jacaranda-lined avenues which in September should be in full bloom, beautiful parks and charming colonial architecture, it breaths an air of shabby gentility. Take your time to view the old Railway Station, Club House, City Hall where the flower sellers show off their wares and the Bulawayo Club – all of which are now heritage sites. Sparkling clean limos alongside very dusty 4x4s, and immaculately kept suburban lawns make this a city of fascinating contrasts.
