Uganda
I'm wondering if anyone has new ideas about renting or buying a decent bike in Uganda to tour there, Rwanda, Kenya and Tanzania?

What kind/size bike?
I have some great contacts in Uganda, you might even be able to order a used one from Japan, then they ship them to Entebbe.
Or you can buy a bunch of different 100cc to 250cc options, new or used. I chose a great buy from Taiwan, the Hartford.
Or, you can rent. There's a nice guy here, raised in UK will probably offer some thoughts. ;-)

Hi guys !
I live in Kampala at the moment so if you need any kind of support or help let me know.
Free camping, kitchen and shower also no problem just send me a private message ! Bike parking is safe as we have a gated compound, a car will fit too ! ( if there is space in the living room you could also sleep there no worries )
You can get a Bajaj Boxer BM 100 here used in good condition between 1,8 - 2,5 million ugandan shilling just for reference. These bikes are to be found all over Africa and will give you no troubles at all + you´ll find spares in every little village inclueding a mechanic that knows these bikes extremely well.
@ lorraine :
Could you please pass me your contact here in Kampala ? Thank you, could be also helpful to me to meet up for a .
Cheers from Kampala,
Chris

If you're in the north of Tanzania you can rent a motorbike from Moshi Easy Riders.
