What People Are Saying
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 Greg 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.

We had considered navigating the trip ourselves...

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 ...

A 'latergram' from the Lilongwe, Malawi to Cape Town, South Africa trip one year ago. The riders enjoyed the winding passes, fascinating geology, flora and fauna, and stunning views!
Our fleet has changed since then. Check out our website in the bio for more.

The Namibian leg of our ride from Cape Town to Victoria Falls is coming to an end. Time to leave behind the gravel roads and vast desert landscapes and head east for the Okavango Delta

Making our way north through Namibia via the Orange River and Fish River Canyon. It's big sky country out here with vast desert landscapes, good dirt roads and surprising lodges where you'd least expect

My first time riding north along the A14 from Nyanga to the Nyamapanda border. A beautiful tar road twisting through a mountain range suddenly gave way to a rocky dirt track with 100km to go. As we ran along the Zimbabwe / Mozambique border we came across this, and later a demining project. Day 9 of a 14 day ride from Vic Falls to Lake Malawi through Zimbabwe

Our Motorcycles
Our fully owned and lovingly cared-for fleet of Honda Africa Twin CRF1000 and Transalp 750 motorcycles are built to handle the African roads we ride with ease
The Honda Africa Twins were everything a person could need to travel the rugged terrain. I own a BMW F800gs, and was still blown away by the maneuverability of the AT and it’s ability to tackle a variety of conditions. Andrew’s knowledge of the mechanical aspect of the bike and riding expertise provided a completely worry free traveling experience."
