Hanoi, Vietnam & Nairobi, Kenya – 29th September 2023 – Dragon Trails Travel Adventures is pleased to announce its formal partnership with iRide Nairobi, a trusted motorbike rental company based in Nairobi, Kenya in a move that marks a significant step forward for motorbike tourism in East Africa. As part of this partnership, Dragon Trails has officially become a shareholder in iRide Nairobi, aligning two like-minded companies with a shared commitment to quality, sustainability, and adventure.
Dragon Trails Travel Adventures is a leading Destination Management Company (DMC) specializing in motorbike travel experiences across Asia, Africa. Founded with its operational hub in Hanoi, Vietnam, and with strong roots in Kenya, Uganda, and the Netherlands, Dragon Trails has been operating in East Africa since 2002. Over the years, the company has built a reputation for designing and managing authentic, immersive motorcycle tours that blend challenging off-road riding with cultural connection and responsible travel practices.
The partnership with iRide Nairobi adds new strength to Dragon Trails’ operations on the ground, enhancing logistics, safety, and local access. iRide Nairobi is well-known for its use of Kibo motorcycles - a Dutch-designed, Kenyan-manufactured motorbike created specifically for Africa’s tough and varied terrain. Robust, reliable, and built with rider safety in mind, the Kibo is the ideal bike for both beginners and seasoned adventurers looking to explore Kenya on two wheels.
"At Dragon Trails, we believe in the power of two wheels to connect people, cultures, and communities. Through partnerships like this, we continue to live our values: adventure, integrity, and support for local enterprise." - Oanh Vu, the Operation Manager of Dragon Trails said.
“We’re excited about this partnership,” adds Lennart Fleck, owner of iRide Nairobi. “With Dragon Trails’ global expertise in motorcycle tourism and our reliable fleet on the ground, we can together position Kenya as an ideal destination for riders from around the world. This collaboration opens new doors for innovation and growth in the region’s adventure travel sector.”
This collaboration exemplifies Dragon Trails’ mission of empowering regional economies through tourism. By investing in iRide Nairobi, Dragon Trails not only strengthens its East African supply chain but also contributes to the long-term development of responsible and locally-anchored adventure travel.
Together, Dragon Trails Travel Adventures and iRide Nairobi will offer riders seamless and unforgettable motorcycle experiences - whether crossing the savannahs of Kenya, scaling the mountains of Uganda, or riding through Vietnam’s winding highlands.
