About Ride Down South
![Cape2KrugerOct23_6](https://b789514.smushcdn.com/789514/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Cape2KrugerOct23_6.jpeg?lossy=2&strip=1&webp=1)
We offer African adventure motorcycle rides that will give you stories you'll tell for the rest of your days.
We've been riding our favourite routes since 2007 and love showing our guests the wonders of our big backyard. Our groups are small: from 4-8 riders and we like to keep things simple. We stay in comfortable 3- and sometimes 4-star lodges, with an occasional tented camp under the stars. Our Honda Africa Twin motorcycles are all owned and maintained by our team of mechanics. We're also happy being flexible and will create custom rides for individuals and small groups.

Michael Burton-Durham is our chief guide: "My experience of riding in Southern Africa has led me on this path of doing what I love and what motivates me every day - the pleasure of sharing our beautiful region with our guests in the best way possible - on two wheels."

The bikes are classics, strong, and well maintained. The food is sensational, whether it be at restaurants or by the campfire. Andrew is the perfect tour leader, cool, calm and very knowledgeable about the country."

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 tour without a hitch and made sure we stopped at all the best secret spots. When I booked this motorcycle trip I wanted the trip of a lifetime. I got it and then some. Wow. What an experience!
