Taking part in a raid alongside the Rally racing to the mythical Lac Rose... very few organizers offer such an extraordinary adventure.

Whether by motorbike, SSV or car, no specific preparation, no concept of time, just a desire to ride at your own pace, in complete freedom, in the midst of grandiose landscapes with a wish to escape and have fun.

Every evening, the whole rally caravan will gather at the bivouac around its famous and majestic campfire to share its emotions of the day.

A lot of unique moments and discoveries ahead!

MOTO RAID

Explore 3 African countries at the handlebars of your trail or maxi-trail motorcycle. On the driving side, you will follow a track downloaded on the Ertf GPS common to all teams, which will bring you through rolling tracks as well as some challenging but scenic routes. For those who would like to taste the sand and challenge themselves, there will be alternatives for everyone to enjoy.

CAR RAID

There are many who tried the AFRICA RAID one year and came back the following years by taking the bet to enter the race.

This formula is also suitable for couples or friends, from 2 to 3 people per car, who wish to go on an adventure and experience the atmosphere through this great authentic cross-country rally, with its bivouacs set in the middle of nowhere.

The drivers will take certain tracks in the selective sections used by competitors in the race, and will learn and / or improve navigation and dunes crossings, all at their own pace, without pressure.

It's up to you to choose YOUR formula for your sweet escape!

Competition and sharing define the spirit of the Africa Eco Race

It is always a pleasure for the population of Menton to witness the arrival of all these vehicles: trucks, cars, buggies, motorbikes… It is also all about the human and convivial aspect of this race which races through the city of Menton.

For us as service-team, the AER feels like going on a road-trip with the whole family ! Together we follow the ancient African trails. Together with the complete organization of the AER we give it all to bring our teams to the legendary Lac Rose ! Being true fans of the AER we enjoy the whole concept as you find in no other race, as one of our SSV pilots reminded me, there is only one real race to Dakar !

The AFRICA ECO RACE is a true human organisation, you really fell that you're a part of a global project with an open and very initimate feeling. So you sleep with very simple thoughts while you reach your goal: Dakar

The enthusiam and passion of the team as well as their constant research of bringing eco-responsable actions to their event, make the AFRICA ECO RACE one of the unmissable events of the Principality and we are proud to welcome them every year. We encourage everybody to buy a maximum of solar lamps provided by AMADE and AFRICA ECO RACE. More than a daily use, they will enable senegalese and mauritanian children to walk safely home after dark and will contribute to reducing the racing vehicules' carbon footprint.
