Training groups vary from 2 to 10 riders at a time

Levels 6 to 10 incur no course fees. African Long Distance merely audits your off road touring which is for the rider's own account

Training days start at 8:30am and run most of the day depending on the content (usually 4:30pm).

The unique African Long Distance log book is a document that is used to audit a riders development from novice to veteran. The creation and recognition  of a Long Distance motorcycling elite is an important element for aspiring novice riders as they enter the sport.
