Bike Safari 2026
Making Change Together. Ride with Purpose - Pedal for Good.
Join us!
March 1–8, 2026 | Kenya
After an unforgettable first edition, Bike Safari 2026 returns - combining adventure, impact and connection. Join Daniela Ryf on a journey through Kenya: from heartfelt moments in the slums of Nairobi to breathtaking rides through the savannahs of Laikipia.
Together we'll visit two powerful initiatives supported by the Daniela Ryf Foundation - a safe home for 30 orphaned children and a feeding program that provides 700-1000 children with a hot meal every day. We then trade the city for the wilderness, cycling 30-50km through Kenya's wild beauty, safely guided through open landscapes and surrounded by wildlife.
Designed for a small group of 8 participants, this unique journey offers the perfect balance of purpose and adventure.

Heartfelt Encounters
We visit the Paula Mercy Foundation and Blessed to Transform, two impactful projects supported by the Daniela Ryf Foundation. Share warm meals, play, and connect with the children whose lives your participation helps support.
Into the Wild

Adventure Meets Comfort
Our final ride takes us to the luxurious Tumaren Camp, where we unwind by the pool, reflect on the journey, and enjoy the tranquility of the wilderness.
