On the trips we use the new Yamaha XT-660 R.

For more than 25 years the Yamaha XT stands for robust and reliable technique. We always use the latest version of this long distance travel bike.
660ccm, combined with 50hp und high torque make the xt fast and easy to handle. Even less experienced drivers can handle the bike without stress and excessive demands. On our adventurous trips we value reliability and sitting comfort higher than engine power and low weight. Therefore we deliberately went for the reliable Yamaha technique and not some kind of sports off-road bike.

To match Tanzanian needs, the bikes are especially prepared by the German specialist 'OFF-THE-ROAD' (www.off-the-road.de).
Coarse off-road tyres and claw foot pegs will give you and the bike the necessary grip on the sand and gravel pads.
The break and clutch levers are protected by strong handguards. A custom made, strong bash plate protects the engine against stones and ground contact. A rear rack allows you to take all the parts you need for the day, without having to carry a backpack all the time.
If you like to have a bike with reduced seat height, please let us know upon booking. And we will prepare the bike accordingly. The standart seat height is 86.5cm. It can be reduced to as low as approx. 80cm.

With a tank capacity of 15 liters, the economic fuel injected bike will go about 250-300km - on longer distances without local petrol supply the service vehicle accompanying us will be our moving petrol station.

The bikes are equipped with a roadbook, tripmaster and GARMIN GPS system to ensure that you don't get lost. These tools allow you to go at your own pace and to take breaks when you need them. This way you can organize the day according to your needs rather than having to stick to the group.
