You can register via our website www.velo-adventures.com. Once the €500 has been paid, you will receive a login for my Velo Adventure, where you will find all the information you need to prepare for this adventure.

Uganda is gravel-proof terrain, making it ideal for gravel biking. Velo Adventures offers MTB rentals on site, eliminating the need for air transport, this way we help reduce our carbon footprint.

A bicycle mechanic from Velo Adventure will be accompanying us. Replacing a tire should be a basic skill that you should be able to do. Participants are also expected to perform maintenance after each stage. The bicycle mechanic will help you with any technical problems.

On this edition we have placed a maximum age of 30 years to keep the group young :)

Very accessible route. In Uganda, we have chosen a route that is different from what we offer in Rwanda. We follow the White Nile. Limited elevation gain. The route is a mix of single tracks and red trails. As little asphalt as possible. We will provide the tracks just before departure, which you can then load onto your GPS.

It is a mix of basic hotels, tent camps, lodges, luxury lodges, etc. We choose our moment to light a campfire.

Yellow fever vaccination is mandatory. Protection against malaria is strongly recommended. More information can be found on the website: https://www.wanda.be/nl/landen/oeganda/

Uganda is really safe. We don't go to big cities and stay away from major roads. We also stay far away from borders and cycle in the middle of the country.

The Velo Youth does not impose any obligation to raise funds. We will visit the school of Velo Afrique. Participants are free to contribute to the purchase of new school desks. A school desk costs about 75 euros.

Duffelbag is the way to go! Hardcase suitcases don't survive the harsh transport.

Once you have registered, you will receive all the details in a roadbook, which also includes a packing list detailing what you need to bring with you. The total weight allowance is 23 kg.

We have a doctor with us for every edition. Every evening there is a consultation hour where you can consult the doctor. We always hope that he has as little work as possible.

For Uganda, you need a passport that is valid for at least 6 months after your return.

You can apply for a visa online. We will let you know when it is time to submit your application.

E-MTBs are available for rent in Uganda. If we know this in advance, we can rent them locally. E-MTBs cannot be transported by plane.

We want to encourage the use of Velo Adventures bikes because they are available locally, which means we don't have to transport them by plane.

Air transport is expensive (€400).

Think about the CO2 emissions.

And nowadays, the bikes can no longer be sent in advance and have to be transported by the participants. This is a major logistical risk.
