Your Adventure Comes With
When I booked this motorcycle trip I wanted the trip of a lifetime...
I got it and then some. Wow. What an experience! Andrew and the team aren't just great guides, they're also just really great people -- a joy to ride with and also a joy to hang out with. They ran my 22 day tour without a hitch and made sure we stopped at all the best secret spots. And the bikes we rode for absolutely perfect for the trip. Africa Twin! I'm a fan for life.
WILL ELLIOT // San Francisco
We had considered navigating the trip ourselves...
... but we would have missed out on so many personal insights, hidden gems and juicy tit-bits of local folklore. An unforgettable four days of biking through breathtakingly beautiful scenery and daily excursions which left us wishing that weโd booked double the time. Read more ...
LAURA IDENSOHN // Saudi Arabia
If you're after adventure, mateship and a real sense of achievement ...
... I'd highly recommend a trip with Ride Down South. As a long time tour organiser and operator, this was actually the first time Iโve ever gone on a tour as a customer and you far exceeded my expectations. It wasnโt just the riding or the bikes, it was the whole package, the choices of accommodation, the great meals but above all the enthusiasm and willingness to go that extra mile (or 100 km) that shone through in you and your team.
OWEN HOLCOMBE // Cambodia
I can't imagine going with anyone else on a trip like we did...
Thank you Andrew for an amazing experience. You listened to our needs and crafted a tour to suit our group of 4 west coast Canadians and 1 American. You gave great leadership and service all the way. Ending the tour in Victoria Falls was a perfect finale to an amazing trip, on which, we saw and experienced so much. Read more ...
BRIAN HENRY // Victoria, British Columbia
wondering if a ride in africa is safe and easy?
We get it
There are so many motorcycle tours out there, how do you know you can trust us to deliver your dream ride? What if....
- Your bike breaks down?
- You lost your passport?
- Your phone gets lost on a dusty road?
- There are too many bugs?
- You donโt like the other people on the ride?
- You break a leg and get stuck in Botswana?
Weโve dealt with all these and more and never left anyone behind!
Meet Rogan Muller! Our amazing Support Crew team member who is sometimes sweep rider and sometimes support car driver and sometimes tire-changer and more -- and who loves what he does out on the road.
"As a tour support driver at Ride Down South, Iโve had the privilege of working with people from various nationalities, including Americans, Europeans, and Australians. Each trip not only allows me to connect with diverse cultures but also puts my mechanical and problem-solving skills to the test. Whether Iโm fixing trailer brakes or changing tires in the Namibian desert, Iโm always ready for any challenge. I make sure to be there 100% for my passengers, ensuring no one is left behind. If someone doesnโt feel up to riding, I cater to their needs by offering alternative transport, ensuring their comfort and satisfaction while making sure the adventure continues smoothly for everyone."

Meet Mike, our lead tour guide ...
"What I love about Ride Down South tours is that every trip is an adventure. Each time I do the Cape Town to Vic Falls, for example, it is a unique adventure because of the people on the tour with me โ they make it unique. We may be riding the same route, but the scenery is never the same, it changes all the time. It is always something new, something different. There is always something to discover along the way and we meet some really fantastic people โ always open and friendly. I also love the deep appreciation of our guests โ as we ride through desert landscapes or lush winelands. The best thing about this job is seeing riders absolutely LOVING where they are on this epic African adventure."
