Nairobi, Kenya – May 17, 2026
The Zambia High Commission in Nairobi today officially flagged off a delegation of adventure motorcyclists traveling overland from East Africa to Livingstone, Zambia, to participate in the highly anticipated Africa Bike Culture Festival, scheduled to take place from May 22 to 25, 2026.
The colorful ceremony, held at the Zambia High Commission in Nairobi, brought together diplomats, motorcycle sports leaders, touring enthusiasts, and riders from Kenya and across the East African region in a celebration of friendship, unity, tourism, and African cultural exchange.
Speaking during the event, Mr. Exnobert Zulu, Chargé d’Affaires at the Zambia High Commission in Nairobi, described the occasion as more than simply the beginning of a road trip, but rather “a celebration of friendship, adventure, unity, and the enduring bonds between the people of Kenya and Zambia.”
“It is a pleasure and an honor to stand before you today as we officially flag off this remarkable journey by our Kenyan biker friends traveling by road to the Republic of Zambia,” Mr. Zulu said.
He emphasized that the journey reflects the spirit of African connectivity and people-to-people diplomacy aimed at strengthening cooperation between the two sister nations.
“A man who causes kinsmen to feast does not do so to save them from starving; they all have food in their own homes. When we gather together in the moonlit village ground, it is not because of the moon; every man can see it in his own compound. We come together because it is good for kinsmen to do so.”
Mr. Zulu added that gatherings such as the bikers’ expedition symbolize the importance of African unity and shared experiences across borders.
The delegation is being coordinated by Beyond Sports Kenya and the Motorcycle Sports Federation of Kenya (MSFK) under the leadership of Mr. Sammy Mwongera Kiumbe, Director of Beyond Sports Kenya and Chairman of the Leisure and Touring Commission at MSFK under Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM).
Mr. Kiumbe revealed that the East African contingent includes riders from Kenya, Uganda, Burundi, and Tanzania, all converging en route to Livingstone for the continental biking festival.
“We are leading a delegation of adventure motorcyclists from across East Africa traveling to Zambia for the Africa Bike Culture Festival in Livingstone,” he said. “This is not just about motorcycles; it is about culture, tourism, partnership, and African brotherhood.”
He explained that riders from Uganda and Burundi had already begun their journeys and would join the Kenyan delegation in Tanzania before crossing into Zambia through the Tunduma Border Post on May 20.
The Kenyan team consists of 15 participants, including riders, a support van, and accompanying crew traveling from different parts of the country, including the Coast region.
Mr. Kiumbe also paid tribute to a Ugandan rider who had intended to participate in the expedition but sadly passed away following a road accident weeks before the event.
“We felt it was important to stand with and comfort our brothers in Uganda,” he said solemnly.
He commended the Zambia High Commission for its hospitality and support for the touring initiative, noting that the growing partnership between the biking community and Zambia’s tourism sector presents significant opportunities for regional tourism promotion and cultural exchange.
The Africa Bike Culture Festival in Livingstone is expected to attract riders and touring enthusiasts from across Southern, Eastern, and Central Africa, including participants from Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Angola, South Africa, and several East African nations.
The event is expected to promote regional integration, adventure tourism, and cross-border cultural experiences while showcasing Zambia’s tourism potential, including the world-famous Victoria Falls in Livingstone.

The FIM Mentoring Programme continues to expand its global reach with the introduction of a new mentoring project in Kenya launched at the end of 2025, supporting the development of sustainable motorcycling structures through targeted, long-term guidance.
The Kenyan project brings together an experienced FIM mentor, Adrian Scholtz, former CEO of Motorsport South Africa (MSA), and the national federation, which is currently working towards the establishment of a Motorcycling Academy in the country.
The mentoring focuses on shaping a clear and sustainable project strategy. This includes defining a long-term vision for the Academy, exploring ways to engage the local community, identifying potential funding sources and appropriate operational models, and ensuring alignment with national and regional motorsport development goals as well as FIM values.
At the same time, the dialogue addresses the practical steps required to bring the project to life on the ground. Together, the mentor and federation are working through the technical, legal and environmental considerations linked to land identification and development, safety requirements, track layout and access, while progressively structuring a realistic planning process that integrates budgeting, stakeholder coordination and timelines.
Another key element of the mentoring exchange is the development of human capital through education. Discussions focus on building a structured coaching pathway, clarifying levels, curriculum, assessment and recognition, and supporting the creation of a national coaching certification system that is aligned with FIM standards while remaining adapted to the local context.
Reflecting the core philosophy of the FIM Mentoring Programme, this initiative goes beyond the transfer of technical expertise, fostering leadership skills, strategic thinking and organisational resilience at federation level. The Kenyan mentoring project illustrates how a close, trust-based mentoring relationship can support national federations in building strong, sustainable motorcycling ecosystems.
This new project builds on the success of previous FIM mentoring initiatives recently concluded, the Mentoring Programme in Indonesia – a three-year journey to success – and the expansion of FIM’s mentorship footprint through its first-ever Medical Mentorship Programme for the FIM Continental Union in Africa.
Together, these initiatives underline the FIM’s ongoing commitment to capacity building, knowledge transfer and sustainable development across all regions, reinforcing mentoring as a cornerstone of its global development strategy.

Naivasha, Kenya – January 2026 – The Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM) has taken a significant new step in its global mentorship strategy with the successful delivery of the FIM Medical Mentorship Training – Kenya 2025, held from 12–14 December 2025 in Naivasha, Kenya, alongside the Central African Challenge (CAC) Round 2.
Building on the success of the FIM Academy Mentoring Programme in Indonesia and the continued expansion of FIM mentoring initiatives worldwide, this event marked a major milestone as the first mentoring programme ever delivered specifically for an FIM Continental Union (CONU). The initiative represents a unique opportunity to drive structured development at a continental level and to strengthen long-term capacity within African motorcycle sport.
The three-day programme was organised by the FIM Africa Medical Commission in collaboration with the Motorcycle Sports Federation of Kenya (MSFK), and was facilitated by Dr. Roberts Furmanis, member of the FIM Internal Medical Commission (CMI). Medical professionals from Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Rwanda, and Zambia participated, reinforcing cross-border cooperation and knowledge sharing.
The training focused on enhancing medical preparedness and safety at motorcycle sport events while embedding mentorship principles tailored to the African context. Key areas included:
FIM medical regulations and international standards
Track-side medical operations and emergency response
Trauma and concussion management
Rider assessment and return-to-race protocols
Mentorship methodologies and sustainable medical developmentAs the first mentoring initiative implemented at CONU level, the programme provided a strong framework for developing consistent medical standards across the continent. It also created a platform for experienced medical professionals to mentor emerging specialists, ensuring continuity, knowledge transfer, and long-term growth within the region.
Dr. David McManus, FIM Medical Director, highlighted the importance of the initiative: “Delivering the first medical mentoring programme for an FIM Continental Union is a major step forward. It offers an exceptional opportunity to develop medical expertise across Africa and to build a sustainable system that benefits riders, officials, and events throughout the continent.”
Participants welcomed the practical approach and the direct engagement with international experts, noting that the knowledge gained will have an immediate and positive impact on medical operations at national and regional events.
The successful delivery of the FIM Medical Mentorship Training – Kenya 2025 confirms FIM’s commitment to rider safety, mentorship, and structured development at all levels of the sport. The Federation looks forward to expanding CONU-level mentoring initiatives as part of its broader global strategy.
