Kenya on Two Wheels
Biking through the vast, open plains of Kenya offers a truly majestic experience—where grazing rhinos or wandering herds of elephants move alongside you as you ride. Beyond the breathtaking wildlife, cycling in Kenya brings you closer to the raw beauty of its landscapes—the crisp air, the vibrant energy and the untamed land. One of the most remarkable biking experiences traverses the privately-owned Borana Conservancy and the Maasai-owned Mbirikani Group Ranch. Spanning over 130,000 hectares of wilderness, these areas sit between the iconic Amboseli and Tsavo National Parks, bordering the stunning Chyulu Hills National Park. Saddle up for an unparalleled adventure through Kenya's diverse ecosystems while being surrounded by nature in its purest form.
