Your Tour Questions

  • What does the starting price mean?

    Indicative From USD 3,900 per person sharing. The single-room supplement is USD 550 per person for the trip. These figures use a historical comparison and require current supplier confirmation.

  • When can we travel?

    Throughout the year, by arrangement. This is an enquiry window, not a guaranteed departure every day; rain, road conditions and supplier availability can change the route.

  • How fit should I be?

    Be comfortable riding consecutive days on varied surfaces. Tell us about recent rides so we can agree daily distances and elevation; this is not automatically a beginner’s tour.

  • Is every kilometre ridden?

    No. Regional transfers and unsuitable road sections use vehicle support. Your final route distinguishes riding, walking, rest and transfer days.

  • Are an electric bike and my preferred size guaranteed?

    No. Tell us your measurements and equipment needs. Bike type, size and any upgrade must be confirmed before booking.

  • What is the single supplement?

    USD 550 per person for sole occupancy where available, in addition to the sharing price. It is not a daily charge and is not a second base fare.

  • Are Zanzibar connections included?

    Only the connection explicitly named in the confirmed total is included. This indicative price must be reconciled with the chosen flight or ferry arrangement before payment.

  • Can I bring my own bike?

    Ask us first. Carrier acceptance, packing, assembly, storage and transport costs need agreement.

  • Who leads the trip?

    Tartaruga arranges the confirmed local guiding and support team. No foreign guest leader or named third-party personality is included.

  • What should my insurance cover?

    Ask your insurer about the actual cycling, road surfaces, equipment and medical evacuation. We cannot determine whether a policy covers your individual needs.

    We use your details to respond and plan your requested trip. Please do not include passport scans, card details or medical diagnoses. Privacy Policy.
