Bwindi Beauty is a beautiful adventure route that is located in the south-west of Uganda. Bwindi impenetrable forest is known as the home of βour cousins – the mountain gorillas. Β On it, we pass through green mountains, rainforests, vast green plains and dry savannas. People who already rode this route describe experiencing it as if they passed through four different countries. The route takes a total of 9 days and is quite intensive, as we ride between 150 and 200 km per day. This route is arranged so that we can stay on location somewhere on the route for a day. This means that on this chosen day, you can for example, choose to stay at the campsite and rest, or for more of an adventure, you can go gorilla trekking or for a long walk or small hike through the communities along the crater lakes.
In general, you experience two types of climates on this route: tropical savannah climate and sea climate, which means in terms of clothing, one has to be prepared for rain, cold and warm weather or heat. The best time to travel for this route is in February and from May to September.
For some particulars, we ride about 1,400 kilometers in total, of which of around 35% is riding on paved roads and 65% on off-road and gravel paths. For this reason, as off-road riding is slightly different, it helps if you already have some experience on the motorbike. And as you might expect, the off-road tracks can be much more fun than riding on an asphalted highway.
Don’t have off-road experience yet? No problem, because you are not immediately thrown in at the deep end. The route is quite manageable in terms of the difficulty of off-road riding.
The starting price for this route covers your basic ‘camping & biking’ needs. This means that we camp using our own camping equipment at beautiful campsites or in the wilderness. We remain completely self-sufficient, which makes the adventure extra challenging and freeing. At each of the campsites, we are provided with local or international meals, always freshly prepared under clean conditions. Usually, we will have lunch on the way. At bush camping sites, we have so-called camping food packages.
Of course it is possible to adjust the trip according to your preferences. Maybe you want to travel longer, or a little more luxuriously. It is easily doable, for example, to trade-in camping for accommodation in more luxurious safari tents or lodges. Perhaps you would prefer to have a car drive alongside us, so that you can load all your stuff there instead of carrying it on the back of the motorbike? No at problem! Hear it now: you have plenty of options! I would love to hear what your wishes are, so that together we can create a nice and memorable journey together.
