    Levels

    Mountain biking and e-mountain biking
    Beginner
    For those wishing to discover mountain biking, enduro, or "All Mountain" riding, and who have little or no experience mountain biking in the mountains. You want to learn the essential technical skills for both descending and climbing on rideable trails.
    Intermediate
    For occasional mountain bikers. You are comfortable shifting gears and modulating your braking, and you can clear obstacles by unweighting the bike. You will ride on 4x4 tracks that offer a gradual progression, though you may encounter the occasional steep section. Daily elevation gain is approximately 400 to 600 meters.
    Confirmed
    For mountain bikers who are already enthusiasts with some riding experience. You have mastered gear shifting and braking control, and are able to clear obstacles by unweighting the bike, as well as ride up or down short, steep sections. Ideal for riders looking to improve their descending skills on singletrack trails that are rarely very steep but sometimes technical (rocks, roots, etc.) without being exposed, featuring daily elevation gains of 600 to 1,000 meters.
    Advanced
    For mountain bikers who are already skilled descenders and confident in their technique. You are capable of navigating switchbacks, riding along off-camber trails without hesitation, controlling your braking, and clearing small obstacles (such as roots, rocks, and steps). The long, sustained descents—which increase in difficulty throughout the week—are sometimes steep, often technical, and occasionally exposed, though rarely dangerous. Expect daily elevation gains of between 800m and 1,400m.
    Expert
    For experts and experienced, regular riders. You are capable of navigating switchbacks and off-camber trails, controlling your braking, and clearing obstacles such as roots, rocks, and steps. The descents are long and sustained—often steep, technical, and sometimes exposed. You are looking to challenge yourself with daily elevation changes of 1,400 to 2,000 meters.

In a few words

Explore the mythical ecosystem of the Maasai Mara on a challenging expedition where mountain biking is the only way to travel between communal lands and secret sanctuaries. This demanding journey immerses you in the wilderness , traversing remote areas and endless savanna landscapes where few vehicles venture.

Supported by professional logistics, you'll take on the challenge of long daily distances across technical terrain . Human connection is at the heart of the journey: the Maasai people are an integral part of the support team, ensuring your safety while sharing their ancient culture. These authentic exchanges transform each stage into a profound life experience.

The journey is an intense experience, with nights spent camping in the wild under canvas, offering a complete disconnection to the rhythm of nature's sounds. To conclude this epic adventure, a classic safari in the Maasai Mara National Reserve allows you to observe Africa's iconic wildlife up close. It's an extraordinary sporting adventure, combining pushing your limits with contemplation in one of the most beautiful settings on the planet.

The highlights

  • Vast open landscapes offering long vistas, varied terrain
  • Isolated nature reserves and community lands, rarely accessible by vehicle
