frica – a fascinating Continent! Africa can be divided into three big regions:
The northern Arabic region with it’s amazing deserts, including the Sahara, and it’s ancient culture.
The black African region which is mostly tropical and subtropical. It fascinates with it’s diverse landscapes, fauna and flora.
The southern region which is dominated by European immigrants. It’s stunning landscapes and immense deserts make it a very attractive area.
Motorcycle tours in Africa are always a great adventure! The roads are challenging, infrastructure is sparse and the cultures are very different to the European ones. Food is tasty but also quite different to what you might be used to. Africa, nonetheless which region, is always worth a visit. And what could be better than exploring it on a motorcycle tour?

Testimonials
Our travelers speak for us …
Two friends and I toured Salta in April 2016. We only wished we could have stayed longer. Matias our guide, the bikes, accommodations, route were excellent, and the scenery worth every penny. We always felt safe. Highly recommend to anybody who would like to enjoy beautiful roads and great food.

In September 2016 I went on the Pyrenees trip. Some years earlier I had been on two South American trips. All the adventures were well organized. It goes without saying that the hotels were first class and the food excellent. I have no hesitation in recommending both Horizonte and the Pyrenees trip.

This is not a Sunday afternoon ride to the cafe. And it is not meant to be. This is a physically and mentally challenging adventure - and can be life changing. We experienced the phantastic nature and scenary of southern Argentina and Chile and learned a lot about the way people live in this part of the world.

I attended the South Patagonia Tour in Jan 2020.This was was my most exciting motorbike event ever. The landscape was varied from rainforest to desert with glaciers in between. The bikes were in excellent condition, and the tour guides did an excellent job in guiding and supporting. Thanks again for that!!
