Dusty Helmets

Dusty Helmets offers a range of off-road motorbike safaris to some of the most spectacular areas in Kenya. Our aim is to show case the stunning wildlife and the natural beauty and cultural diversity of Kenya on two wheels. Our trips combine incredible tracks and routes on enduro bikes with game viewing (sometimes in vehicles) in some of Kenya's finest parks and reserves.

The itineraries outlined on our website are to give you an idea of the areas we can visit on our FE 390 Husabergs. All the trips start at our HQ at the Soysambu Conservancy, close to Lake Elmenteita, and can be customized to suit your wishes, preferences and number of days. All our itineraries are based on off road routes, with the odd crossing of tarmac roads. None of the tarmac sections are on major highways – all on secondary roads.

We also offer you the opportunity to add to your motorbike safari – for example after a week's riding, a few days of relaxation at the Kenya Coast or the Maasai Mara!
