Tour d’Afrique 2020 – Details Now Online

It’s been called the original, the ultimate, the mothership, the flagship, and our namesake tour. It is the Tour d’Afrique – our most famous, and most iconic of tours. It is the one that started the company and the one that all other tours we created were modelled on originally. It remains the most popular and thus it is our only tour that runs every year starting in January.

Over the years the routes have changed here and there. Some roads get paved and others fall into disrepair. Some campsites are memorable, others forgettable but the essence of the tour has mostly remained the same – cycling from the top to the bottom of Africa under human power.

Along the way there are highlights on and off the bike. Here is a selection of videos we recently created with the hopes of inspiring you to cycle Africa with us in 2020….
