Who are the Africa Cycling guys?
Two brothers with the same passions, Africa, Cycling and Wildlife!
Who is René?
René (1964) has cycled the world, on both coasts of the United States, Australia 8000 km, the entire length of New Zealand and, of course, in Africa. His professional life has also focused upon sport: he worked for 15 years a sports leader in a juvenile prison, and thereafter as an instructor on cruise ships, managing their fitness departments.
As guide and tour manager of Africa Cycling, Rene fulfills his dream of turning his passion for cycling into his profession and can share his knowledge of Africa with participants who are eager for an active, extraordinary, “outside the box” vacation.
Who is Anton?
Anton (1959) is active in running, cycling and mountaineering. He conquered both Europe’s Mont Blanc and Cotopaxi in Ecuador (almost 6000 meters in height!). Professionally, he has combined a specialization in acute care (including 11 years of trauma helicopter experience) with care education. With 17 years of experience as an independent businessman, specializing in training acute care to nurses and doctors, Anton is a master in training and management.
Traveling is in our blood. Although we have visited many countries, Africa holds a special place for us. We look forward to sharing our enthusiasm and knowledge with fellow adventure seekers.
Our mission:
Africa Cycling’s mission is to provide their clients with an unforgettable encounter with the authentic nature and culture of Kenya, from the colorful villages of the Masai Mara to the lush green tea plantations. Along the road and at lakes we encounter “friendly wildlife” such as giraffes, zebras, impalas, hippos, flamingos. We safely observe the “big-five” from 4×4 vehicles in game reserves.
Africa Cycling aims to provide an active but carefree tour, tailored to the needs of the participants. The tour-master cycles together with the group and a safety car following at a short distance, providing aid to the cyclists whenever necessary. All accommodations are carefully selected to provide the maximum amount of comfort after a long day’s touring and all meals are provided.
