Motorbike adventures on a dual purpose motorbike in the Garden Route and Karoo.

Adventure motorcycle riding is a spectacular way to experience South Africa and in particular the Garden Route and the Karoo. You will travel with one of our very experienced and passionate riders who live and ride in this area. You will be briefed and kitted out with the necessary safety kit before the ride of a lifetime. Many people would like to experience this on a motorbike but do not have the expertise to ride these big bikes, the knowledge of the area or simply the licensce to ride these motorbikes. These motorbikes are expensive to hire with very high insurance excesses. The feeling of freedom and adventure on an adventure motorcycle is bliss. We ride these areas every weekend and know the routes intimately. The view-points we get to on a motorcycle are incredible as we are on a motorcycle. A unique way to see the country and its people.
