North Africa..."Yamaha Tassili Adventure"
unique dirt bike tours across the Sahara!

This off-road tour will take you through the heart of Tassili N'Ajjer, a National Park protected by UNESCO and classified as a Biosphere reserve, containing the most beautiful and diversified ancient paintings in the Sahara. The Park is located in the most southeastern part of Algeria in the Sahara Desert of Africa. You will visit the Tènèrè, the Tadrart and the piedmont of the Tassili plateau. The scenery is stunning for hundreds of miles! The main danger is euphoria while riding.

This is an off-road tour on dirt bikes and quads prepared by Yamaha Motor France. The riding is mainly on packed sand with some dune crossing. Freewheeling sessions are organized during various stops in the spectacular course where you can climb and play in gigantic sand dunes that can be 300 yards high.

Support trucks and vehicles will carry your luggage, gasoline and food. You will ride lightweight dirt bikes and quads with standard fuel tanks so that you can really have fun. Non-riders are welcome, and can ride with our Tuareg guides in four-wheel drive vehicles. You will relax each evening at the billion-star hotel at camp around the campfire, and eat wonderful local food cooked especially for you.
