The bikes

For this epic journey, we’ve chosen the BMW R nineT, a motorcycle that embodies both heritage and performance, making it the perfect companion for our route. With its powerful yet versatile engine, on and off road capabilities, and classic rally-inspired design, the R nineT Scrambler delivers an exhilarating ride across Senegal’s diverse terrain. Other bikes, like the BMW GS(A) or KTM Adventure are also available on request.

The nights

After thrilling days on the road, unwind in carefully selected lodging that blend comfort with local charm. From boutique lodges to unique stays that capture the spirit of Senegal, each stop offers a chance to recharge in style. For those craving a true rally experience, we’ll set up bivouac or camping nights under the vast African sky—when the group is up for it—bringing the camaraderie and adventure of the original Dakar spirit to life.

The group

To keep the experience safe, personal, and immersive, we limit our groups to a maximum of six riders. This ensures a tight-knit atmosphere, allowing everyone to fully embrace the adventure while receiving personalized guidance and support. Riding in a small group means more flexibility, better safety, and a shared camaraderie that makes every moment—on and off the bike—even more special.
