🏍️ ☀️ Southern Africa? Don’t mind if we do…

Hello riders & readers! Well, after the recent record breaking temperatures felt across the UK, people may be excused for asking ‘Why go abroad?’

But as someone that is subscribed to our newsletter, the answer is simple. You’re not looking for lazy lounging ~ at least not all of the time ~ you’re looking for adventure! And guess what – we have that by the bucketful!

“In The Headlight”  this month we want to reveal some of the treats and travels available in: Southern Africa!

So let’s start with the tour that takes you furthest South, stretching from the Atlantic coast in the Western Cape across the continent heading East along the Indian Ocean. This route will cover some epic rides, plunging down to the beaches to rub shoulders with the penguins and the seals.

Stopping to watch the genuinely breath-taking Southern Right Whales, often with their calves basking in the shallows (they even do the fountain squirty thing!) but this is only the beginning of some of the wildlife you can expect to see as the roads take you upwards and onwards, with 360 degree views as the road winds across the hilltops. This tour may start at Table Mountain but it definitely isn’t downhill from there.

Come on, who doesn’t want to ride deep into the wilderness, tour the World famous Garden Route of the Southern Cape and camp out in a luxury tent with air conditioning (we know… good news in the semi desert!) and get up close & personal with giraffe, wild buffalo, antelope and of course the World’s largest bird; the ostrich! Our Sea to Safari Tour does exactly as it says on the tin, and more…

Victoria Falls – Cape Town

But hey maybe you’ve done the ten day holiday thing before and re after a proper expedition – say 18 days? No problem, we’ve got it covered. Victoria Falls to Cape Town; that’s Botswana, Namibia, South Africa and Zimbabwe.

This trip starts at “The Smoke That Thunders” the mighty Victoria Falls. Using some of the best gravel routes in the World, this tour will take you through vast desert landscapes and show you skies filled with so many stars it is almost unbelievable. You can see an array of Wild Big Game simply from the back of the bike as well as spot elephants wandering freely in the grounds of your lodge! The route eventually takes you through the vast land scapes of Namibia all the way down to South Africa, until we reach our final destination of Cape Town.

So there you have it, a whistle stop tour of some of the Southern African tours and the variety of rides and experiences they afford. Surely something here to float your boat!

All the best,
