The 2025 Cape To Kili Cycling Expedition: Adding In A Little Zim

The inaugural Cape to Kili Cycling Expedition reminded us that any new tour, even one that takes place largely along the same route as our Tour d’Afrique, faces an extra element of adventure and the unknown. Cycling in the opposite direction of the Tour d’Afrique, during a different time of year produced challenges, surprises and wonders in equal numbers, making the Cape to Kili experience distinctly different from its older trans-African brother.

Without a doubt, it was not, as some may have assumed, a ‘Tour d’Afrique Lite.’ While only 60% as long as the Cairo to Cape Town expedition, the challenges were equally tough in places – the weather, the roads, the traffic – and the rewards, equally sweet – the wildlife, the scenery, the people. We learned a lot during the 2 months the expedition was on the road and these lessons have encouraged us to make some changes for the 2025 Cape to Kili trip.

The larger change is that we are very excited to be adding a new country, Zimbabwe, and a new route from Victoria Falls to Lusaka. This includes an overnight ferry crossing of Lake Kariba (the world’s largest man-made lake), which gives the cyclists a chance to experience a less travelled region with amazing birds and wildlife.

We are sure that the 2025 Cape to Kili Cycling Expedition will once again offer no shortage of adventure and challenges, as it pedals across one of the world’s most astonishing continents.
