Itinerary
From our offices in Nyali, you’ll ride to Mazeras, via Makupa. You’ll be able to have a glimpse of the Mombasa port, one of the biggest in East Africa. From Mazeras, you will head straight to Kaloleni. You will ride on unpaved road, testing your off-road riding skills. For adventure riders, you will definitely find this interesting and thrilling, since you will be subjected to uneven terrain, sand patches, rocky surfaces and sharp curves.
After a quick stop at Ganze for some water, you will ride to Malindi via C103, a tarmacked road. Here, you will be able to see villages, with old mud and grass thatched houses, displaying the traditional Coastal Kenyan building culture. This stretch will give you a touring sensation, as the roads are smooth with nice views of the landscape.
