⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ [5/5] review: “ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ [5/5] review: “What a fantastic and wonderful bike tour we have made these past two weeks! Our group consisted of couples. We were overwhelmed by the beauty of Uganda, the variety of the scenery (one day the savannah with a flat terrain, the next day climbing through the banana plantations and villages to the rainforest) and than you are dazzled by the view on the top of the mountain, knowing that you’re going to ride through this beautiful scenery. The Ugandan people are very kind and cheerfully and children are greeting you everywhere with “how are you?”. The program is well balanced and the rides can be made as tough as you want. So there is a challenge for everyone. We inserted several excursions which were all a good choice (game drive where we spotted lions and a leopard, gorilla trekking, a shoebill boottour through the swamps, tour through Kampala on a boda boda etc etc). Expert driver Robert and great Guide Zaga made the trip extra memorable: together we had a lot of fun and we felt like a family.” - Sandra Wiarda & group #review #Uganda #mountainbikeholiday #bike #cyclinginAfrica #Africa #mountainbikeholidays #cycling #reddirtuganda #cyclinglife #cyclingphotos #cyclingshots #cyclingpics #cyclingfans #cyclist #roadbike #instacycling #bike #mountainbike #lovecycling #cyclingday #cyclingaddict #bikelife #cyclingstyle #cyclingtip #destinationgoals
Are you ready for your biggest mountain bike adven Are you ready for your biggest mountain bike adventure ever while raise money for a charity? 🚵‍♀️ We will cycle 350 kilometers in 6 days with 14 amazing cyclists, to raise funds for @stichtingbakeforlife . Last year we raised more than 75,000 euros, which led to the fact that more than 50 people now have a job as a baker. How amazing! And guess what: you have the chance to join this year’s edition! We will cycle through Uganda’s finest nature and see amazing waterfalls, meet the friendliest people and visit several Bake for Life-projects. Fun part about this tour: It doesn’t matter if you are young, super fit or old. This tour is designed for each and every one of you! 😌 This November we are organizing two more editions of the @reddirtbakerytour . Currently we still have some spots available. But be aware that spots might fill up pretty soon!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ [5/5] review: “It ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ [5/5] review: “It was a pleasure and a valuable life memory to discover Uganda by bike. Thies, Robbert, Francis and the whole Red Dirt team were the perfect hosts. They knew everyone at all locations, the routes were STUNNING and the trip schedule was sportive yet relaxed. Extra points for the food/drink service along the way and unique lodges/camps/guesthouses; here they really delivered extra value over ‘booking your own trip’” - Nol & Loek @fatpigeon.cc, april 2022 📸 by: @fatpigeon.cc #mountainbikeholiday #Reddirtuganda #mountainbikeholidays #cycling #reddirtuganda #cyclinglife #cyclingphotos #cyclingshots #cyclingpics #cyclingfans #cyclist #ciclismo #roadbike #instacycling #bike #mountainbike #lovecycling #cyclingday #cyclisme #cyclingaddict #bikelife #cyclingstyle #cyclingtips #Africa #gravelbike #gravelride #gravelcycling #gravel
