How a cruising ride works
Smooth roads. Good beds.
- 01Your own bike
A road motorcycle for long tarmac days — one bike per rider, serviced before every trip.
- 02Road school first
A day in Arusha or Moshi to get to know the bike, Tanzanian road rules and local traffic habits before the long roads.
- 03Your road captain
A Lille Bille rider leads every day — he knows the routes, the laws, the people and the customs, and he is there if anything happens.
- 04Tarmac only
Paved roads all the way. No camping, no dust, no rough tracks — a hotel, a shower and a bed every night.
