Proper Mountain bike - Rented a bike from these guys and it didn't disappoint at all as I did a solo mountain bike ride which was amazing.
The bike was good with hydraulic brakes as well as a 1x11 speed gear which helped me go over many hills.
Cheers

Ends my Holiday - Amazing experience I had cycling through the quiet villages with views of the magnificent lake Victoria.
This 3 hour bike ride is for the taking and I recommend everyone with knowledge of bikes to book.

A great experience tailored to your preference - I really enjoyed my bike ride! It was great that Mandela could tailor the route to go easy on me as I didnt mind a long distance but I didnt want too many hills after a long work week...his knowledge to give me the best possible experience according to my preferences I really appreciated.
Also, I must admit that before it ever started, I actually slept in that morning and was over an hour late which I felt absolutely terrible about. However they were very calm and understanding. Mandela waited so patiently for me to arrive and he was very pleasant and friendly throughout the day. Thank you Mandela, again sorry!!
I would highly recommend this tour and would happily book from them again when I come back.

get some physical activity & adrenaline while engaging with the people and environment - The 3-hr bike tour was a highlight of our trip to Uganda. Our guide Michael was excellent, and the terrain, views, and communities we saw were captivating. The boat commute across the lake was a perfect way to start and finish the ride. Loved stopping for a Rolex to interact with the locals. The bikes were functional with minor maintenance items (mine had a cracked/wobby pedal and the handlebar grips were loose). Highly recommended as a way to get some physical activity while engaging with the people and environment.

Beautiful excursion - Beautiful excursion with boat trip across Murchinson Bay to the opposite peninsula. This seems to be the most direct route for their inhabitants to Kampala. We saw beautiful tropical landscapes and got to know the “real” Uganda. Friendly and nice people who cultivate their land in the midst of the tropics and plant everything that the fertile soil gives. Great guide who always stood by my girlfriend, who hasn't ridden a bike for years and helped. A really great experience and so close to Kampala.

Nice ride through beautiful surroundings - Last week I made a mountain bike ride with guide Micheal. From Beach House Gardens we made the crossing by boat. We went into nature at a nice pace, beautiful paths, tough climbs and nice descents. It is a beautiful area with farmlands and villages where you pass smiling and waving children. Towards the end stopped for the local snack; Rolex. Michael has played well to the level and diverted the route slightly and extended it to 30k to make the ride even more challenging. Had a wonderful morning

Good experience - It was my first time doing this kind of activity. It was a good experience. Sometimes they would give us advice or take photos for us. The photos were also shared with us immediately after the trip.

Last day of out doors - On my last day after a very long hectic schedule of work in Kampala, I decided to book this tour to try and go out doors.
Starting with the boat cruise on lake Victoria to our starting point, we rode through single tracks with amazing views and scenic landscapes.
Beautiful area with lots of happy and endless smiles.
Totally recommend....
