Motorcycle & Scooter rentals in Arusha Mjini

Working with the rental shop to put together a customized moto trip for 6 of us from the US was great. The team worked up a fantastic itinerary that exceeded our expectations. We felt we got to see authentic Tanzania. The mix of dirt, tarmac, village life, safari, Maasai lands, and even ocean life of Zanzibar was outstanding, truly. Accommodations were very comfy. We always felt safe with our riding, customized to our capabilities, while exploring these wonderful lands and people. I loved my Kibo 250. Very responsive motorbike, even with my short legs! Thank you and team. Can't wait to come back.

5-Star. I rented a Himalayan Royal Enfield from the rental shop to solo travel through Tanzania, and it was a very smooth, easy and hassle free experience. I was fortunate with no problems with the motorbike and I absolutely loved the staff who got me lined out with last minute changes to the motorbike setup and suggested travel routes!

iRide Arusha is a 10/10 operation. When I booked my trip with them, I thought of this as a bucket list “once in a lifetime” type trip. In hindsight, I hope I am wrong about this - I cant wait to do more trips to africa and with iRide Arusha. I did their signature 10 day tour in september/october of this past year with my brother, and we were blown away. I typically do a moto tour about once a year, but I have never done one this long or this far away - and I am really glad we did it. Here are just a few highlights about things I loved about this trip. The people. Tanzanians are so kind and helpful. I always felt welcome and safe. The dirt. No matter what kind of dirt you like to ride, you will find it in Tanzania. The motorbikes. I had never heard of these motorbikes before, and was admittedly a bit sus. Trust me when I say these motorbikes are perfect for Africa. They are specifically designed to make the most of the terrain and infrastructure. I wouldn't want anything else. The accommodations. iRide Arusha has curated an amazing portfolio of boutique lodges that you would never find on your own. Each one with its own special wow factor. The wildlife. Nothing cooler than riding with wild animals like zebras and giraffes - that was amazing. A close second was the game drive we did in one of the national parks. The value. I have paid twice as much for tours half as long. Don't let the airfare scare you off, it will be more than made up for once you get there. Of course, none of these highlights compare to the team. Both the guide on our trip and the folks in management who coordinated all the logistics were amazing. Frankly, we still keep in touch. Even if everything above was simply average, I would still be dreaming of my next trip just to see these folks again.

World class motorcycle rental and tours. Brilliant advice for self guided adventures out of Arusha and around Tanzania. 🇹🇿 👍 🏍️

Excellent motorcycle rental in Northern Tanzania. I rented a Kibo 250 which proved very tough and capable on some very rough tracks. A very straightforward rental process, I’d highly recommend IRide Arusha.

I booked a full day motorcycle tour around Arusha, Chemka and West Kilimanjaro and really had a great experience. Communication with iRide was perfect, they responded the same day and informed me very well about the whole tour, reservation, changes. Immediately after the tour they asked me for any feedback or ways to improve and arranged for the deposit to be refunded. As for the tour itself it was perfect; I got to see a lot and had lots of different driving experiences, and had the most kind, comfortable and flexible tour guide I could have wished for. Thank you for the experience!

Aloyce in Arusha helped me over several days to plan a great trip and experience for me, including renting me all clothing and helmet and motorbike and a tour guide for the day with a route. My guide Simon was great, couldn’t have asked for better and would recommend to any tourist or local person.

I was able to rent a motorbike the same day, rented the Kibo 250 and could not be happier! Exceptional service from Sylvia & Simon. Bike was well taken care of and the company flexibility was amazing! Totally recommend it :)

Wow, what a trip! I spent 4 days and 3 nights riding from Arusha to Kilimanjaro and then on to Lake Natron with the rental shop. It was a real adventure - we even had a flat tire along the way! But that just added to the excitement. We saw so many wild animals like zebras, giraffes, and impalas, and the sunrise with the Maasai was just magical. The ride had everything - tarmac roads, dirt tracks, sandy stretches, and rocky stone paths. The technical parts were especially fun and kept the adrenaline pumping. The guide was super friendly and really knew his stuff, especially when fixing the motorbike. I always felt safe, which made the whole experience even better. Plus, the places we stayed were all different and cool - from beautiful views to being out in the wild, and some spots were really fancy too. If you want an authentic and fun trip, definitely check these guys out!

Wonderful experience with this group. Easy communication with Sylvia. Simon was awesome helping me get setup on the motorbike. They sent a very helpful guide about their favorite places to eat, ride, and stay in northern Tanzania. Would recommend!

March 13, 2025

Very nice people, communicate clearly and quickly. Felt very safe driving the motorbike under guidance of Simon across beautifull landscapes. Very nice way to see more of Tanzania

As a first timer I can highly recommend a lesson with Simon! He was super informative, patient and made me feel safe handling the motorbike for my first ride. I still need a few more lessons before I’m fully confident on my own but it was such a fun experience. Thanks to the entire iRide team for being so hospitable and putting me at ease, answering all my millions of questions and concerns.

What an unforgettable experience! I highly recommend riding a motorbike in this stunning region. My journey with Heri from Arusha to Lake Natron was incredible. Along the way, we saw a variety of wildlife and navigated some of the most scenic, dusty roads. One of the highlights was the opportunity to interact with the local Maasai people, which was a truly enriching cultural experience. We spent the night at a lovely lodge near Lake Natron, where we were greeted with a warm welcome and great hospitality. If you’re looking for an adventure that combines nature, culture, and excitement, this is a must ! This is Organised By Kevin from California, he is very helpful and helped us managed all the trip perfectly. Do not hesitate to contact him for more information !

An unforgettable adventure through some of the most breathtaking landscapes! The motorbike adventure from Arusha to Lake Natron was absolutely incredible. The stunning views along the way—vast open plains, rugged terrain, and the beauty of the lake—left me in awe. What made the experience even more special was the chance to learn so much about the Maasai culture. Heri was an amazing guy, sharing his deep knowledge of the region, its history, and traditions. We highly recommend to ride with Heri ! It wasn’t just a ride, but a journey that connected us with the land and the people. We were also lucky to spot wildlife along the way, making the trip even memorable. The lodge by Lake Natron was cozy, and the warm welcome we received made us feel right at home. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for an adventure that’s not just about the ride, but also about immersing yourself in a unique and beautiful culture.

Trustworthy company, they provided good service, they where available for any questions I had, helped us with route planning, however I had some issues with my motorbike, the keyhole for the fueltank was broken and I had issues closing the tank, which was a bit stressful as I was very far from Arusha at this time. The motorbike also got a flat tire first day of driving it but I brought the motorbike to their shop and they helped me changed the tire free of charge, so over all I’d rent from IRiseArusha again. Special thanks to Simon their mechanic.

The best way to explore Zanzibar! Get a motorbike at East African Motorcycle and follow their advice! They are super kind and willing to share their experience! We felt in very good hands, and we were super happy with the treatment!!! Absolutely recommend!!!

I rented a Royal Enfield Himalayan from the Arusha branch. They were able to arrange pickup and drop off at KIA airport which was very nice as I had transport during my entire stay of almost a month. They were friendly and reachable at any time. The motorbike was well maintained and comfortable. A great experience, I highly recomend it!

We rented a Royal Enfield 350 for 6 days at East African Motorcycles. Having a motorcycle gave us so much more freedom to discover the island, to plan day trips for diving, for our cooking class, for tours, a visit to stone town and reaching restaurants a bit further away from our isolated accommodation. It is the perfect means of transportation on the island. Communication with Olga of East African Motorcycles was quick, smooth and professional and everything was arranged remotely: inquiry, ID, local drivers license, payment and deposit. Rental fee for the last day was calculated to the hour instead of for a full day, which we thought was nice. We stayed at the east side of Zanzibar so we chose the option to have the motor delivered to the hotel and picked up afterwards, on both occasions the driver was not ‘polé polé’ but right on time. Exceptionally reliable and highly recommended!

One of the best experiences from my 9 days in Zanzibar. The booking and communication was fast, professional, and the staff was friendly, kind and helpful. Anytime I had a question or concern (and I'm a natural worrier, so I had a lot) they were very fast to reply via whatsapp and always helped me out. They offer saddle bags, cell phone holders, etc., and a good selection of motorbikes that appear in great running order. There was one hiccup, which was that I had the motorbike delivered to my hotel, and one of the helmets had a broken strap/buckle so would not close properly. This was resolved quickly and simply by having the driver go back for a replacement. It also would never have been a problem if I had collected the motorbike at their offices (which are immediately next to the airport - a 2 minute walk from the terminal). So double check the gear and the motorbike - but the way this issue was resolved means that it did not negatively effect my experience. This is the best way to explore Zanzibar. You have freedom while also being completely immersed in the life and pulse of the island in a way no other mode of transport can provide. The bustle of Zanzibar city is wild, but traffic is pretty slow and there are a number of scooters and motorbikes on the road so it feels quite safe. Outside of the city, the main roads are generally good, wide, and not too busy. My only regret is not having the motorbike for longer!

This was so much fun. Driving this moto with my wife on the back through the craziness of how different traffic is in Zanzibar (we live in America) was a blast! We went on a day trip around the island to a spice tour (which was amazing) and the only national park in Zanzibar where we saw the Red Colobus monkey (only native to Zanzibar). The motorbike was flawless and a comfortable ride. Not sure if they have automatics but the clutch and motorbike were flawless! So much fun!

I couldn’t describe how happy we were to have found East African motorcycle. We rented the motorbike for 5 days and visited the north Tanzanian landscapes and safaris. It was the adventure of a lifetime. Michel was the best host with his recommendations, and the Himalayan motorbikes they have are in perfect conditions. Ours was actually brand news. Thanks again for everything

Another 5-star review for the rental shop team. Excellent pre-rental info, a great machine and a brand new helmet. The motorbike was flawless, and even had old school panniers for luggage storage. Very comfortable. Easily coped with whatever Zanzibar had to throw at it and a great way to explore the island. Would thoroughly recommend.

Feb. 28, 2022

Perfect experience from start to finish. Great initial info from Eric, followed by fast last minute turnaround of the paperwork from Chris on a Sunday and excellent friendly efficient pick up & drop off from Zan in the office. The motorbike was perfect. Highly recommended.

Jan. 6, 2022

Very professional staff and highly responsive. Even though I couldn't hire the motorbike eventually for personal reasons, their response ans willing to help were superb. Highly recommended.

Oct. 12, 2021

The only way you should see Zanzibar. The staff were kind, proffesional and incredibly hospitable. The motorcycle was in great running condition and the experience was something I couldnt get enough of. I will definitely do this again for a longer period of time next time. Big thank you to East African Motorcycles staff for the care they put into their guests. It was greatly appreciated .

Are you looking for style, class, something extra ordinary? The Royal Enfield motorbikes are what you are looking for. It's not about power and HP... but all about fun, on a sexy good looking motorbike. Great product, great service team...

Great service and support and well maintained, quality motorbike. I loved the Himalayan - the perfect motorbike to explore Zanzibar with.
