About your flight and bicycle transport
How do I book my flight ticket?
Your cycling tour (travel day 1 from the itinerary) always starts around noon. It is therefore no problem if your flight arrives in the morning (no later than 11 am). You can also book a flight arriving in Nairobi the day before your trip starts. You will then need an extra hotel stay for that day. We will be happy to help you choose a pleasant accommodation.
How do I arrange transport for my own bicycle?
You can bring your bike (non-electric) in a suitable package or bike box. Before booking a plane ticket, check the conditions of the airline you are considering. Prices vary, so look carefully at the small print when you book your plane ticket.
Generally, the following requirements are imposed:
– The weight of the bike less than 25 kilos.
– The handlebars must be able to rotate lengthwise from the frame.
– The pedals and other protruding parts must be removed.
– Tyre pressure must be reduced.
Special bike boxes are available at various airports for EUR 20 each. We will keep the box for you.
You often need to book the transport of your bike well in advance of departure
