We'll arrange to meet you at Cape Town airport and take you to your hotel. We’ll have the bikes ready in the parking area of a hotel near the V&A Waterfront by early afternoon. You are welcome to come check them out and get a start on pre-packing if you’d like. We'd be happy to recommend a hotel that offers comfortable accommodation in a good location for exploring Cape Town. In the evening we’ll arrange an optional pre-ride dinner at a local restaurant - dinner’s on us 🙂

We start the tour with one of the most scenic rides we can imagine. From Cape Town we'll make our way south along the shores of False Bay via Clarence Drive with an optional visit to a local penguin colony. We'll then ride over a short but breathtaking mountain pass through beautiful fruit farms where there is also a locally well-frequented farm stall and coffee shop. We continue towards Theewaterskloof dam and the spectacular Franschhoek Pass, after which we ride to Wellington then up and over the tight, twisting Bainskloof Pass before heading to our destination of Tulbach, and a well-deserved rest.

Today we get to explore more of the breathtaking scenery among the Cape Fold mountains and the Great Karoo. We will head over Michells Pass into the town of Ceres before taking the R46 road over yet another pass and through open Karoo landscapes. We'll then turn on to the R318 Burger's Pass road with a beautiful view of the Koo Valley. Riding out of Montagu we pass under the old English fort which was built in 1899 to hold the river and mountain thoroughfare. We head towards Swellendam along the foothills of a mountain ridge and our accommodation for the night. We'll have dinner at the famous Drostdy Restaurant which serves excellent food.

Today we have fantastic riding leaving Swellendam, beginning with the picturesque Tradouw Pass to Barrydale and an obligatory milkshake stop on the R62. Leaving Barrydale we have a short ride to the world-famous Ronnies Sex Shop (very interesting story as to how it got its name), now any biker worth his salt has to stop here for a picture or two and a t-shirt. We continue and head through Ladismith towards and over the Huisriver Pass to Calitzdorp. After a great lunch in Calitzdorp, we head straight to Oudtshoorn, the ostrich capital of the world.For those wanting to experience one of the best gravel passes in South Africa we can take a detour over Swartberg Pass into the Karoo town of Prince Albert and on to Oudtshoorn via the equally impressive Meiringspoort.

Today we get to explore the famous Garden Route as we head towards the coast. We begin by riding through a coastal mountain range down the Outeniqua Pass which takes us to the town of George. We'll ride through a natural phenomenon called the 'Map of Africa' near the town of Wilderness. We'll wind our way to Knysna for a lunch stop at one of the excellent restaurants at the waterfront. After lunch, we'll take the R102 to Natures Valley to see a unique view of the new Bloukrans bridge from the old Blou Krans pass and a stop at the Storms River Mouth. After which we will head through beautiful forestry and farmlands to our stop at the famous surfing town of Jeffreys Bay.

We have short riding day to Addo so we have some time before we leave to explore the beaches or even take an early morning surfing lesson. Today we start heading inland, from now on we are heading back inland towards the beautiful eastern Cape highlands. We ride the R102 and take in the 'new' Van Stadens river bridge from the old Van Stadens river bridge. We'll then continue on the R102 towards Addo Elephant National Park where we will stop for the night. Keep your eyes open as we will likely come across an elephant or two.

It's another shorter riding day and we have the option of a morning safari into Addo. You'll see plenty of elephants and antelope and possibly some of the local lion. Back on the tarmac we ride through the park with the chance to see more wildlife up close. After exiting Addo through the western gate we'll ride past game farms and beautiful open landscapes before arriving at our luxurious hotel in Graaf Reinet for a well-deserved rest.

Leaving the lap of luxury this morning we ride through a short bit of c with its desert-like landscape. Turning onto the R61 a beautiful stretch of road, the first thing we do is ride the Wapadsberg Pass heading towards Cradock along the northern edge of The Mountain Zebra National Park. Today riding is all about making our way through the south-eastern part of the Karoo, quaint little towns, and a couple of beautiful mountain passes including Cala Pass, that will leave you grinning from ear to ear, and of course just pure natural beauty. The final destination is our hotel, on top of Barkley Pass so make sure you have practiced saying “wow” a lot.

Our ride today takes us along some lovely scenic roads as we descend and ascend the mountain escarpment around the Drakensberg Mountains and ride through rural Xhosa villages. We have a few route options depending on how much we’d like to explore the great riding roads in the area. We spend the next two nights on a tranquil guest farm at the foot of the Drakensberg Mountains.

We have a non-riding day today with the option to visit the spectacular Sani Pass on a 4x4 tour, or on the bikes if you're feeling up for an adventure. We’ll have lunch in the highest pub in South Africa and if the weather is favourable enjoy spectacular views into Lesotho and the lowlands to the east.

Our heading for today is Clarens, a picturesque little town nestled in the mountains bordering Lesotho. Riding through small villages on hilltops and many valleys crossed we arrive at National Highway 3, we skirt past the Midmar dam on our left as we head north again. The ever-present Drakensberg mountains (Dragon Mountains) are on our left and will mark our route all of today. Fortunately, we won’t stay on the highway and will turn off and head towards the Sterkfontein Dam, impressive with its body of water. With high mountains to our left and rolling hills and valleys to our right we turn west and head past a Basotho Cultural village before entering the Golden Gate National Park so worth the stop, then onto our destination of Clarens. Clarens has a great Brewery and Gin distillery.

We end our riding adventure with one of the most scenic routes in South Africa. We’ll set out on a loop that takes us up the escarpment to stunning view points over the lowlands at God’s Window, and the Three Rondawels. The riding here is a lot of fun on good, twisting tar roads with some magnificent mountain and forest scenery. We’ll get lunch in the another historic gold-mining town of Pilgrim’s Rest and enjoy a dramatic ride over the mountains on Robber’s Pass.

Hazyview is a great base from which to experience the world-famous Kruger National Park. In our experience it has the best Big-5 game experience in Southern Africa. We'll switch the motorcycles for a Land Cruiser as we enjoy a guided safari into the Kruger National Park. There is the option of a half and full-day experience of the largest game reserve in Southern Africa. You can expect to see at least some if not all of the Big 5 animals along with a rich variety of birdlife, antelope and other animals.
