Rift Valley Mountain Bike Challenge

16, However if you have a member of the family who wants to join and is under 16 with an adult gaurdian, then please get in touch with us and we can provide more details on if they can or cannot attend that specific trip.

The activity time each day varies, but for the most part, you will be riding your bike for most of the day. You therefore need good bike fitness and the ability to ride a bike. If you are a road biker or a mountain biker, this trip will be great for you. Although the distance is fairly short each day for a full day of riding, the riding in Kenya is hard, with off-road terrain, high altitude, sun and dust. So you will get a very good workout each day. If you are finding the distances easy each day, the bike guide will add on additional kilometres and loops to make the most out of your time in the saddle. We have also included plenty of time to stop, enjoy the views and take pictures with the animals.

It’s highly recommended you take out personal travel insurance. Travel cover protects you in the case of unforeseen circumstances including cancellations, injuries, equipment loss, flight changes, and other events that could negatively impact your trip. We suggest specialist adventure travel insurers, Rise & Shield. They cover 100s of activities and are easy to deal with if you need to make a claim. They also cover unique scenarios, like trekking at altitude or emergency evacuation in hard-to-reach places, that ordinary travel insurance doesn’t cover.
