Adventure Bike Trails
About us
Adventure cycling, slow travel, real connections - that's what we stand for.
Adventure cycling, slow travel, real connections - that's what we stand for.
In 2007, Sigge left Nairobi - not with a guidebook or an organised itinerary, but with a bike, a tent and the determination to truly discover Africa. 3,500 kilometres later, at the Victoria Falls, he knew: this is how you should travel.
In 2011 he organised his first Kilimanjaro Bike Trail. Since then, Adventure Bike Trails has slowly but surely grown into what it is today: a series of carefully chosen adventures for people who want more than an ordinary holiday.
Covid brought a pause, but in 2023 and 2024 the adventures resumed with renewed energy. And since then, things haven't stood still.
We are not a large travel company. We are a passionate team that believes in slow travel, real encounters and honest adventure - far from the tourist masses.
Three people, one mission: showing Africa as it really is.
"Life starts at the end of your comfort zone."
In 2007 he cycled 3,500 km from Nairobi to Victoria Falls. Four years later he organised his first adventure. The flame still burns to this day. Sigge is the man who chooses routes that no one else would - and who always turns out to be right.
"Adventure? You either have it or you don't!"
Sigge's daughter, grew up with Africa stories and decided to write her own. On the adventure since 2023 and there's no stopping her. Zana makes sure everything runs smoothly - from the first question to the last ride.
"Everybody still in the car???"
Born Kenyan, with us from the very beginning. Joel knows every road, every lodge, every local contact. He is the reason our adventures work. Without him we would just be tourists.
Beyond the core team, our adventures run on the energy of volunteers who help out in the field. They guide, support, drive the support vehicle, cook, laugh along - and make the adventure complete for every participant.
Without them, not a single adventure would work the way it should. They are the secret ingredient behind every successful stage.
We are always looking for new volunteers who want to join this adventure. Do you want to experience Africa from the inside, support people and be part of something bigger?

We believe the way you travel is just as important as the destination.
No tourist version, no filtered experience. We ride through villages no tour bus ever reaches, and we introduce people to Africa as it really is - including the challenging moments, which are often the most beautiful.
On a bike, everything slows down. And that is exactly the point. You see more, hear more, smell more. You have time for conversations, for stopping, for wonder. Fast travel is collecting information. Slow travel is living.
No two adventures are the same. Two people riding the same route will each experience it in their own way. We create the conditions for adventure - what you do with it is your story. And that story is what you bring home.
"Everyone has their own personal experience and no two journeys are ever the same."
