E-biking on Mugie Conservancy is a great opportunity to embark on an eco-friendly adventure along a stunningly scenic route, with plenty of close-up wildlife encounters along the way.

We suggest heading out early morning or late afternoon while the day is still relatively cool and the game is more likely to be out in the open. Expect a variety of animals such as zebras, giraffes, oryxes, buffalos, warthogs, elephants, impalas, hyenas, Thomson’s and Grant’s gazelles, to stare curiously as you cruise by.

How do electric bikes work? Simply start peddling to kick start a motor that gives consistent electrical energy to the bike. You can literally pedal at your own pace and with ease, feeling completely relaxed with your guide for company and a support car that drives a little distance a head for safety.

Guests must be 12 years+ for this activity and groups are limited to four people at a time. There is no need to book this activity in advance, nor is there any extra charge.

Discover a New Way to Safari: E-Biking Through Mugie

Forget the confines of a vehicle, this is safari at handlebar height. Mugie’s open plains and winding tracks offer the perfect terrain for an e-bike experience. With the assistance of pedal-assist electric bikes, you can cover more ground with ease while remaining fully immersed in your surroundings.

As you cycle past giraffes, antelope, and elephants, the landscape opens up in a way few experiences allow, raw, real, and refreshingly quiet.

Why Choose an E-Bike Safari?

An e-bike safari offers all the thrill of a traditional game drive, but with a fresh sense of freedom and connection. Powered by quiet electric assistance, you can explore the wild at a gentler pace, with nothing but the sounds of nature around you.

Minimal Environmental Impact

Our e-bike safaris are designed with sustainability in mind. The electric motor allows for almost silent travel, minimising disturbance to wildlife and reducing your carbon footprint.

A Slower, More Immersive Experience

Being out of a car allows you to engage all your senses, feel the breeze, smell the earth, and hear the rustle of the bush. It’s an intimate encounter with Africa, at your own pace.

Closer Wildlife Encounters

The quiet nature of e-bikes means you’re more likely to observe animals behaving naturally, offering opportunities for stunning photography and unforgettable memories.

Wildlife You May Encounter

Explore Mugie’s sweeping landscapes by e‑bike and catch sight of resident zebra, giraffe, buffalo, oryx, warthogs, impala, and elephants. Predators like hyenas and elusive leopards roam nearby, while the open savannah invites sightings of Thomson’s and Grant’s gazelles, all making for unforgettable, close‑to-nature encounters.

Elephants, Giraffes & Plains Game

Mugie is home to a diverse array of species. Expect to spot giraffes browsing the treetops and herds of elephant and antelope grazing just metres away.

Birdlife & Smaller Creatures

Keep your eyes open for vivid birdlife, smaller mammals, and the occasional shy predator – all safely observed under the guidance of your experienced safari guide.
