Trip Informations
Why you’ll love this trip
Fundraise 2500 AUD for World Bicycle Relief and visit local villages to see firsthand the impact that your funds will have on the local Kisumu community in Kenya.
Cycle through the diverse landscapes of Kenya, from wild stretches of savanna to woodlands, hills and valleys. Spot local flora and fauna and immerse yourself in the local culture all from the back of a bike.
Explore Ndere Island National Park on Lake Victoria and look out for the rare sitatunga antelopes on a special game drive to spot local wildlife.
Ride through Kisumu’s city centre on a cycling tour where you’ll visit Kajulu Forest – part of the Kajulu Community Forest Association, which promotes the sustainable management and conservation of forests.
Visit the World Bicycle Relief workshop in Kisumu and meet the mechanics and test riders who work there, learning about the impact you’ll have on the local community, the employment opportunities provided and the freedom that a bicycle can offer.

Is this trip right for you?
This trip is a special fundraising event. Unlike other Tuuur trips, there is just one exclusive departure date. In order to secure your place on the trip, you’re committing to fundraising 2500 AUD for World Bicycle Relief. You need to achieve this fundraising target no later than 30 days prior to departure.
To complete this trip, it’s important that you’re both confident and competent in riding a bicycle.
You’ll be cycling for up to 35 km a day on varied terrain, so you’ll need an adequate level of fitness.
Riding is done along both sealed and unsealed roads, but there are no special technical skills needed. Some practice at home is a great idea, however, especially for downhill sections.
You’ll be travelling with the group in a purpose-built overland vehicle. While these trucks don’t have air conditioning, they do have drop-down windows, which let in the breeze and make it even easier to take spectacular snaps of the local wildlife. The drive days can be long, but it’s as much about the journey as the destination, and half the fun is the camaraderie.
