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 we’d 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 I’ve ever gone on a tour as a customer and you far exceeded my expectations. It wasn’t 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 don’t like the other people on the ride?
- You break a leg and get stuck in Botswana?
We’ve dealt with all these and more and never left anyone behind!
Somewhere in Sudan when Ride Down South`s owner, chief mechanic, email replier, and new route explorer, Andrew, went on an epic adventure ride from Canada to Cape Town in 2007.

Most of our delicious meals are at great restaurants and eateries along the way, but there is always one good braai (barbecue) cooked up by Mike and Rogan.
