From the epic adventures of Lawrence of Arabia to the heyday of the Paris-Dakar, those iconic periods in motorcycle history not only live on in memories but also fuel the modern retro segment that plays a significant role in the bike industry today. But you don’t just have to daydream in a haze of nostalgia; you can live those adventures, conquer the deserts, and form lifelong friendships for yourself. That’s what Scram Africa is all about, and the organisers, Fuel Motorcycles, have just announced the details of the 2025 event.

“The Scram Africa is the world’s first adventure for scramblers, customised bikes, and classic off-road vehicles. It’s more than a trip; it’s an incredible experience of overcoming challenges, adventure, and friendship. A journey of more than 2,500 km to the south of Morocco by roads, trails, and dunes.”

For the 12th edition, the 2025 event starts and finishes in the exotic Moroccan city of Marrakesh, with an initial briefing to be held on Saturday, 26 April 2025, and the farewell dinner ending the epic experience on 3 May 2025.

But the rewards are more than worth it. You can’t experience shared adventure and accomplishment without pushing the limits of man and machine. There are seven stages in total, and to allow you to focus on the thrill of the ride, the organisers take care of everything from mechanical and medical assistance to a support truck for your luggage. All your meals are catered, and hotels and camping are part of the package. A GPS tracker ensures you won’t get left behind to crawl to an oasis, and there is even a press team on hand to capture your once-in-a-lifetime adventure.
