BORN OUT OF A PASSION FOR AFRICA...

Under the notably passionate care of Heine Engelbrecht and John Gilbert, Tuli Tours Africa was born, designed to offer an immersive experience into Africa as it was 500 years ago.

Having jointly hosted a series of International inbound motorcycle tour groups in 2022, in collaboration with Bret Tkacs of MotoTrek International, it soon became apparent that Heine and John’s combined passion for, wildlife, motorcycles, travel, and adventure are the basis of a winning formula that underpin every aspect of the Tuli Tours Africa experience.

With the peace of mind that you are in safe and capable hands, client satisfaction, value for money, safety and unique exclusive adventure experiences are the core values we strive to deliver on for every tour.

motorcycle tours africa

HEINE ENGELBRECHT

Heine has over 33 years of experience in the motorcycle, touring and motor vehicle Industry. He is the founder of African Dream Adventure (ADA) and True Adventures.

ADA has been awarded numerous motorcycle manufacturers launches over the years – the KTM 790 in Morocco, the Africa Twin launch in South Africa, the Harley Davidson Launch in Florida and numerous vehicle launches, both locally and internationally.

Heine has also been awarded the official press launch tour of the much-anticipated Honda Trans Alp in May of 2023, which Tuli Tours Africa will be hosting. ADA has also been awarded the contract to manage the Nissan Adventure Club doing all Nissan Navara training and events.

Heine has hosted tours into Africa going as far north as Kenya and Tanzania (Land Rover 50 th anniversary). Over and above being a certified 4×4 and motorcycle instructor, Heine is certified as CPR/AED + First Aid, Nature Site Guide Level 2, and a member of Field Guide Association of Southern Africa.

Perhaps even more notable than his experience and qualifications, Heine’s open, warm and friendly demeaner is something guests always make particular reference to. You are truly safe in this man’s care and can expect hospitality and professionalism on a world class level. One would be hard pressed to find someone with stronger credentials.

JOHN GILBERT

John hales from a family whose history is steeped in a long heritage of travel and tourism. John’s father was the marketing manager of Southern Sun, reporting directly to the legendary Sol Kerzner in its early inception, and pioneered tourism to the Seychelle’s. 

John continued the family tradition by founding Tuli-Adventures (now rebranded to Tuli Tours Africa) and has been running motorcycle tours to Botswana from Johannesburg since 2016. He has visited the country more than forty times in that time period. In that same year he completed a solo navigation of the perimeter of South Africa in just nine days on an adventure motorcycle.

John has been riding motorcycles for over 30 years and has a wealth of global corporate expertise, as well as vast travel and tourism experience, including having experienced Gorilla tracking at Five Volcanoes National Park in Rwanda, to internationally renowned Safari resorts such as Shamwari, Londolozi, Mala Mala, Sabi Sabi and Kanana Okavango Delta. This has afforded him a fantastic frame of reference to draw on when designing tailor made itineraries.

Arrival Day

AAMT welcomes you to South Africa at Johannesburg OR Tambo International Airport. We transfer you to your hotel in Sandton and tonight we dine in true African style on Nelson Mandela Square. If time permits, depending on your arrival time, your leisure time can be spent visiting the statue of our iconic leader, Nelson Mandela or shopping on the square.

Arrival Day 2

AAMT transfers you to Johannesburg International OR Tambo Airport for your international departure flight to Dar Es Salaam. On arrival at Dar Es Salaam, you will be met by your AAMT guides and transferred to your hotel. Tonight we welcome you and dine in true traditional Tanzanian style.

Day 1: Dar Es Salaam to Kilimanjaro – Arusha

After breakfast, this amazing epic journey on 2 wheels begin. Leaving Dar Es Salaam, we ride to one of the 7 wonder’s of Africa – Mount Kilimanjaro or as it is locally affectionately known as “Killie”. It is the highest mountain in Africa, as well as the highest single free-standing mountain in the world, with its summit at 5 895 meters. We “erupt” with delight and awe as this 7th wonder of Africa comes into view the closer we get.

Day 2: Kilimanjaro National Park

Today we spend our time riding around this 300 000 million-year-old rock, whilst admiring its magical beauty from all angles. Tonight we sleep in the foothills of this geographical wonder.

Day 3: Kilimanjaro to Serengeti National Park – Karatu

Leaving this majestic mountain with its 3 volcanic cones – Kibo, Mawenzi and Shira, we ride through the beautiful landscapes on our way to the world-famous, 30 000 km² protected, Serengeti National Park – another African wonder. Renowned for its the annual migration of 1,5 million white-bearded Wildebeest, 250 000 Zebra, large groups of Nile Crocodiles and honey badgers.

Today, we ride through vast coffee, tea and cotton plantations on our way to Serengeti National Park. On our arrival, we park the motorcycles and enter the “endless plains” of the Serengeti by Safari Game vehicle and search for its large prides of Lion and other Big 5 Game. Tonight we dine under the African sky and fall asleep to the calls of the wild at our luxury tented camp in the reserve. Remember there are no fences, so be prepared for the possibility of “nocturnal visitors” and definitely no “walk-a-bouts” after the majestic African sunset has taken your breath away.

Day 4: Serengeti National Park

This morning you wake to the sounds of the birds preparing for their busy day, as they soar above the plains of one of Africa’s finest game reserves. It is home to over 3000 lions, 1000 Leopards, 8700 spotted Hyena’s, Cheetahs and millions of Antelope.

You will get your chance to try and count as we soar over these plains and marvel at the game below us in a hot air balloon, whilst sipping champagne. After our “soar with the eagles” experience, we land and continue our Safari in-game drive vehicles. Tonight we dine in style under the African night sky.

Day 5: Depart for Lake Victoria – Mwanza

We say goodbye with sadness to the Serengeti, with memories of this amazing National Park, but do not despair, more wonders are to come. Our destination

Day 6: Arrive Lake Victoria

Today is an early start as we head for one of Africa’s Greatest Lakes – Lake Victoria, named after Majesty Queen Victoria. Our ride takes us to the shores of Africa’s Largest Lake (68 800 km²) and which is also the source of the Nile. Lake Victoria is also the world’s largest tropical lake with more than 200 species of fish and 2nd only to the largest freshwater lake in the world – Lake Superior in the United States of America.

This afternoon, leisure time around the lake and we visit the Mzwana Art Gallery. Late afternoon we enjoy a sunset cruise.

Day 7: Depart for Lake Tanganyika – Kigoma

We depart Lake Victoria in the Great Rift Valley and journey towards Lake Tanganyika, whilst hugging the border of Tanzania and Burundi. Tonight we sleep within a short distance of Lake Tanganyika.

Day 8: Arrive Lake Tanganyika

After a short ride, we arrive at the lakeside town of Kigoma on the shores of Lake Tanganyika – another African Great Lake. Lake Tanganyika is the 2nd deepest lake in the world at 1 470m, after Lake Baikal in Siberia. It is also the 2nd largest by volume and the 2nd oldest freshwater lake in the world. It is the world’s largest freshwater lake. Its immense depth is attributed to the fact that it lies in the Great Rift Valley. It boasts over 350 species of fish.

But most importantly is the gateway to the reason we have ridden to this remote location – Gombe National Park. The smallest of Tanzania’s National Parks and only accessible by boat. This afternoon we visit the historical site of where Henry Stanley uttered his famous words, after being sent by the Crown, to find presumed to be lost, Dr David Livingstone. At what is known as Ujiji, Henry Stanley on meeting Dr Livingstone greeted him with the famous words “Dr Livingstone I presume”. This afternoon, we enjoy watching the renowned dhow builders at work and also visit the historical home of the Scottish explorer, Dr David Livingstone.

Day 9: Gombe National Park

Leaving Kigoma by private motorboat charter, we cruise to the Gombe National Park, possibly meeting local fishermen along the way, as they practice the craft, handed down from generation to generation through the centuries. Travelling along the shoreline of this amazing great lake, to the remote destination of Gombe National Park, our mind wanders back 60 years. The year is 1960 and a young 26-year-old lady, with the name of Jane Goodall, is also on her way to the Gombe National Park. Her quest is to study the Chimpanzees in their natural habitat, as we are about to do.

Reaching shore, we book into our accommodation. This afternoon, our guide and ranger join us and the trek into the jungle commences. Searching through the lush green vegetation, wondering at the amazing views, we seek out the Chimpanzees of Gombe National Park. Once our expert guide and ranger locates the tribe. We watch, admire and study their behaviour, just as Dr Jane Goodall did many years ago. We can only imagine the peace and tranquillity she experienced on her own viewing these amazing primates who are listed as endangered.

Late this afternoon is spent relaxing on the beach of this amazing lake or enjoying snorkelling and viewing the fish that inhabit this clear crystal lake.

Day 10: Gombe National Park

The Day starts with breakfast and the excitement of trekking this spectacular park in search of Jane’s Chimpanzees. Should time permit we hike to Jane’s Peak or the spectacular Kakombe Waterfalls.

Later this afternoon, our 24-hour permit is expiring and we head back to Kigoma by chartered boat. During the 2 hours trip back, it dawns upon us – THIS EXPERIENCE HAS MOVED OUR SOUL AND CHANGED OUR LIFE FOREVER.

Day 11: Zanzibar

Your flight departs Kigoma to the magical island of Zanzibar, also known as Spice Island. You are transferred to your hotel for a few days of blissful relaxation.

Day 12: Zanzibar Day 2

Relax and soak up the sun on this beautiful white beached island, with its azure blue waters.

Day 13: Zanzibar Day 3

We enjoy a Spice Island Tour and travel to a remote Island to enjoy a seafood extravaganza.

Transfer from your hotel to Zanzibar International Airport for your departing flight to Johannesburg International OR Thambo airport. AAMT meets you on arrival and transfers you to your hotel.

End of tour – No…we’re not finished yet!

Day 15: Jade Goodall Institute

We travel to the beautiful mountainous town in the Mpumalanga Escarpment and visit the Jane Goodall Institute, a sanctuary dedicated to protecting these endangered species from the entertainment industry and bush meat traders. We tour the sanctuary and you get to hand over a percentage of your tour price that assists this NGO to continue with their amazing work, in the interests of conservation. Tonight we dine in true African style and reminisce of the amazing Adventure Africa Motorcycle Tour that we have experienced.

After breakfast, we depart for the City of Johannesburg where the tour ends.

Safaris aren't the only tourist attraction in Africa. From cruises to wine tasting, here's what else you can do

A frica is blessed with some of the rarest and most beautiful animals in the world — a fact that entices tourists to book safaris year-round.

But safaris only scratch the surface of what the continent has to offer.  

From wine tours to vibrant coastal cities, other experiences await those who are willing to go beyond game drives and delve deeper into the core of the continent.

Mountains, dunes and rivers

For those who love hiking, Africa is blessed with many peaks — from Morocco's Mount Toubkal to the continent's highest peak, Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania.

But there's also Mount Nyangani in Zimbabwe, which has a skywalk atop the Mutarazi Falls, the country's highest waterfall.

South Africa's Table Mountain can be climbed in a matter of hours, but adrenaline junkies may prefer to bungie jump from Johannesburg's Soweto Towers , or the Bloukrans Bridge along the country's famous "Garden Route."

Africa is ideal for travelers who crave adventure, said Zina Bencheikh, managing director for Europe, the Middle East and Africa at Intrepid Travel.

She recommends Madagascar's Tsingy de Bemaraha National Park, which has two geological zones called the "Small Tsingy" and "Big Tsingy," which in the local language of Malagasy, refers to a place "where one cannot walk barefoot."

"Big Tsingy Trek is not your usual hike!" she said, describing it as a "labyrinth of limestone formations that resemble a forest made of rock."

In Namibia, travelers can climb the iconic Dune 45 to admire the sand dunes of the Sossusvlei, explore the eerie white clay pan of Deadvlei , or hike through the picturesque Sesriem Canyon.

At Victoria Falls, along the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe, travelers can whitewater raft, bungee jump or swim at the Devil's Pool, which is on Zambia's side of the falls. Similar adventures can be found in Jinja, Uganda, where the River Nile begins.

Hot air balloons are a popular and adventurous way to explore too, with a bird's eye view of the berber villages of Morocco to Kenya's Masai Mara.

Explore the beach

African beach towns combine beauty and culture, in places like Seychelles, Kenya, Tanzania, South Africa, Mozambique, Mauritius, Zanzibar, Ghana, Namibia and Egypt.

Mombasa, a coastal city in Kenya, is one example.  

"Here, you'll experience African, Indian and Arab cultures in one place. Fort Jesus is one of Mombasa's notable sites and was built by the Portuguese in 1593. In less than 200 years, the fort changed hands nine times," said Luciemarie Swanepoel, owner of African Sky of Diamonds Tours & Safaris.

She recommends visiting Zanzibar to wander the Stone Town's labyrinthine alleys along with Kenya's Swahili Coast, the historical Gede ruins, and the UNESCO-named Mijikenda Kaya Forests .

"Madagascar … is another island gem, with beaches like Nosy Be and Ile Sainte Marie boasting palm-fringed coasts and vibrant coastal villages," said Swanepoel.

Durban and Cape Town are two of the best beach destinations in South Africa, she said, adding that travelers can kitesurf, snorkel, kayak or search for dugongs and whales there.

Go on a cruise

From budget-friendly houseboats to luxurious all-inclusive boutique lake cruises, Africa has a range of unique boating experiences.

Cruises along the Nile, Zambezi and Chobe rivers, as well as a cruise along Rwanda's Lake Kivu, come highly recommended, as water journeys can offer a spectacular viewing platform for wildlife.

"During a river cruise, you may spot a herd of elephants wading through shimmering water, witness great buffalo gathering along the water's edge, and even observe crocodiles stealthily slicing through pools. Hundreds of hippos also wallow in the river with just their nostrils poking out," says Kate Powell, general manager of the houseboat company Zambezi Queen Collection.

Travelers can also cruise between villages, fish, and bask in the tranquil waters. 

"One can explore the Manambolo River on a pirogue, or wooden dugout canoe, under the shadow of towering rock cliffs [or] stop to explore a cave and the eerie tombs of the Vazimba, said to be the earliest inhabitants of Madagascar," said Intrepid's Bencheikh.

In addition to being a popular stop for world cruises, East and South Africa have their own ocean cruise routes which follow the coastlines and visit offshore islands. Silversea, Norwegian Cruise Line and MSC have cruises departing from Africa.

The best places — and best times — to take a safari

Maritime journeys in Africa allow visitors to experience the continent's wildlife, cultures and landscapes from a unique vantage point, said Kevin Bubolz, Norwegian's vice president for Continental Europe, Middle East and Africa.  

"In Port Elizabeth, the Penguin Island Cruise excursion is a standout experience. You'll journey to the world's largest colony of African penguins in their natural habitat," he said. "If you're lucky, you might also catch a glimpse of playful humpback and bottle-nose dolphins."

Countries like Morocco, Namibia and Ethiopia have established wine regions. But South Africa is the continent's crown jewel.

"South Africa is renowned for its world-class wine regions, with the Western Cape being the heart of the industry," said Wrenelle Stander, CEO of Wesgro, Cape Town's tourism and trade agency.

"The areas around Stellenbosch, Franschhoek and Paarl comprise the famous Cape Winelands, where visitors can tour historic estates, taste award-winning wines, and learn about the winemaking process."

Not only is Stellenbosch one of the best places for wine tours, it's also a culinary hot spot, known for its innovative food scene. Elmarie Rabe, the marketing manager at Visit Stellenbosch, advises travelers to select wineries that are committed to sustainable and organic practices.

"Also consider the traveling distance between farms, as Stellenbosch stretches over 60 square kilometers," she said.

The best time to visit is during the harvest season from late January to March, when the vineyards are in full swing. But every season has its own charm, she added.

"Spring offers lush landscapes and ideal weather, while winter is perfect for enjoying bold red wines by the fireplace. Summer provides sunny days perfect for outdoor wine tasting," Rabe said.

What is the riding like on a motorcycle tour in Namibia?

Namibia is a country ideally suited to middle and heavyweight adventure bikes, depending on the routes you choose to ride. Pencil straight tar roads or winding gravel tracks through the mountains, easy cruising or rocky jeep tracks & sandy riverbeds… Namibia has it all and we aim to offer a motorcycle tour for all types of riders in this fantastic country!

When is the best time of year for a motorcycle tour in Namibia?

The best time for a Namibian motorcycle tour is during the dry season between May & September. These are the “winter months” and the temperatures are moderate, averaging 20-25°c.

The Namibian summer runs from November to April. These months can get extremely hot and chances of rainfall are higher. The rainfall doesn’t just mean you get wet… many rivers will flood and limit your route options!

5 reasons to ride in Namibia

1. adventure riding heaven.

If you’re looking to break away from it all for a while, a motorcycle tour across Namibia might be exactly what you need. If you want some space to clear your head, to take in a breath of fresh air and experience some incredible riding along the way – Namibia is waiting for you! These landscapes are what adventure bikes are made for.

2. Incredible Wildlife

With such an array of African wildlife and very few fences, you can expect to see almost anything crossing the road in front of you. From elephants to warthogs, zebras to giraffes – keep your eyes peeled and you’ll spot something! Unlike seeing animals at the zoo you get quite a rewarding feeling from spotting amazing wildlife in the middle of nowhere, all from the seat of your motorcycle.

3. Exceptional Accommodation

From beach front villas on the Skeleton Coast to luxurious safari tents in the middle of nowhere, Namibia has some truly spectacular accommodation options. Even the simple camping set ups will blow you away – camping under a million stars with nothing and no one nearby in 100% silence is an incredible experience that just feels so special in Namibia.

4. Himba & Herero Tribes

Where our motorcycle tours venture further north in Namibia, closer to the Angola border, we’ll start to encounter the ‘Himba’ and ‘Herero’ tribes. The topless Himba ladies wash with smoke (yes, smoke!) and their hair is matted into rows with clay. In contrast, the Herero ladies wear large full length dresses and shoulder width hats. It’s not everyday you get to meet such hardy & resourceful folk and it’s always an extremely interesting, memorable experience!

5. Sense of Solitude

The landscapes here are BIG and the feeling you get riding a motorcycle thousands of miles across such an empty country is quite surreal. Surrounded by such endless beauty hour after hour, day after day – a motorcycle tour in Namibia is a unique experience and not one to be missed!
