A one-off chance

The organisers have just confirmed that the Dakar 2027 won't run in Saudi Arabia. It's back in Africa for one season and set to return in 2028. The official route isn't out yet, so we can't give an exact schedule. That's why the expedition dates are floating: plan on about 10 days in January 2027, and we'll fix the exact dates once the official route is out. But you can book your place now, and we'll publish the itinerary as soon as the route is announced.

Most likely we'll have one base right in the middle of the action. We won't chase every stage at all costs: we'll head to the race where it makes sense, and in between enjoy the best of Morocco beyond the Dakar. We'll fine-tune the schedule as the route comes out, so we get as much of the Dakar as possible.

You join the expedition waiting list for €100. If it doesn't go ahead (for example because the organisers cancel the race), you get the €100 back. Maximum 10 riders, and that's on purpose: a small group gets closer to the track, finds rooms even when the desert is sold out, and nobody waits around for the others.

How it works

Transport to the Dakar in four steps

Drop off your bike
At one of our pick-up points in Prague, Brno, Olomouc, Ostrava, Pardubice or Bratislava, in early January.
Our truck takes it to our base in Málaga
Your bike is insured up to its full value and waits for you, ready to ride, at our Málaga base. It can even stay there for a month for free. See what our base looks like →
Fly in and head south
From Málaga it's only 140 km to the port. We'll help you with the ferry ticket. Ride with us on the expedition, or on your own with our support behind you.
See the Dakar with your own eyes
You'll ride to spots where you can safely watch the stages. After the race you drop the bike in Málaga and our truck brings it home.

Professional transport

Your bike, safe all the way to Málaga

Guided expedition

Follow the Dakar on a motorcycle, in Morocco

The Dakar 2027 is leaving Saudi Arabia and coming back to Africa, for the first time in almost twenty years. If it runs, we'll be there: on our bikes, in the same desert the competitors race across.

The guided expedition is a one-off: one group, 10 days in January, starting and finishing in Málaga. Ride your own bike or rent one of our BMWs.

“Warren, Andrew, and Gerard were excellent guides on a fantastic motorcycle tour of South Africa. Flytoride's service was flawless; the motorcycles were in excellent condition, the chosen routes were superb, safety protocols for the entire group were always followed, the hotels and meals were also excellent, and the staff's hospitality was outstanding. I wholeheartedly recommend Flytoride to anyone who enjoys traveling by motorcycle to off-the-beaten-path destinations.”

“Great approach, fast communication. Excellent reception of the motorbike and with above-standard care. Pick-up of the motorbike at the destination was again excellent - changing room, refreshments, service. Handing over the motorbike for transport back to the Czech Republic was again excellent and the final pick-up of the motorbike in the Czech Republic was also excellent. I would be happy to repeat the trip with FlyToRide again.”
