We crossed Africa overland. Now we'll lead you through it.
Small-group motorcycle adventures through Southern Africa's most spectacular landscapes.
Adventure riding, the way it should be
Led by the people who built it.
Marc guides every tour himself. He's a certified Adventure Guide and Wilderness First Responder, and he's the same person you'll be riding with from day one to day ten.
Our support vehicle has already done 35,000km through Africa
Marc and Sarah covered 35,000km through 12 countries overland before Akiiki existed, in a 4x4 that's now the same vehicle carrying your luggage, tools, and recovery gear on tour. It's not a rental. It's already crossed this continent once.
Named passes, not stock photography
Swartberg. Seweweekspoort. Sani Pass. Gamkaskloof. We tell you exactly which roads you're riding and why they made the cut, not "hidden gems" and "authentic experiences."
Angola, properly
Very few operators run trips there. We do.
Sarah cooks. You eat well.
No catering contractor, no boil-in-a-bag. Sarah runs support and food on every trip, and it shows.
