Uganda
 

I'm wondering if anyone has new ideas about renting or buying a decent bike in Uganda to tour there, Rwanda, Kenya and Tanzania?

What kind/size bike?

I have some great contacts in Uganda, you might even be able to order a used one from Japan, then they ship them to Entebbe.

Or you can buy a bunch of different 100cc to 250cc options, new or used. I chose a great buy from Taiwan, the Hartford.

Or, you can rent. There's a nice guy here, raised in UK will probably offer some thoughts. ;-)

Hi guys !

I live in Kampala at the moment so if you need any kind of support or help let me know.

Free camping, kitchen and shower also no problem just send me a private message ! Bike parking is safe as we have a gated compound, a car will fit too ! ( if there is space in the living room you could also sleep there no worries )

You can get a Bajaj Boxer BM 100 here used in good condition between 1,8 - 2,5 million ugandan shilling just for reference. These bikes are to be found all over Africa and will give you no troubles at all + you´ll find spares in every little village inclueding a mechanic that knows these bikes extremely well.

@ lorraine :

Could you please pass me your contact here in Kampala ? Thank you, could be also helpful to me to meet up for a beer.


Cheers from Kampala,
Chris

If you're in the north of Tanzania you can rent a motorbike from Moshi Easy Riders.

I rented a BMW 1200 GS from Ayas Ali ( https://www.facebook.com/ayaz.ali.165 ) at Uganda Motorcycle Adventure ( Uganda Motorbike Adventure ) ( https://www.facebook.com/ugandamotorcycleadventure/ ) a few month´s ago and I am very pleased with their service. We rode the bike in Uganda and Rwanda for three weeks :-)
