Description
Your tour:
You book a comfortable flight to the airport Kruger/ Mpumalanga International yourself. We are happy to assist you with the booking upon request.
On the day of arrival, we will pick you up at the airport and bring you to your desired rental motorcycle. We use the afternoon and evening to prepare you for the upcoming riding days. You will get to know your motorcycle, learn about the special features of the trip, and know your tour companions.
We move our motorcycles via Baberton, followed by an escort vehicle towards the eSwatini border at Bulembu. You can be sure to never lose this beautiful ride on the roads of former Swaziland from your memory.
The ride past glittering rivers and countless waterfalls in this hilly landscape is sensational. The roads are mostly in good/ satisfactory conditions and the offroad ride is adapted to the abilities of all the participants.
Once, during the night return ride from the yacht club in St. Lucia, on one of the streets, we had an encounter with a hippo. Fortunately, we were sitting in a car. So be curious...
After a night in Durban, we set the destination "Sani Pass" on our GPS and look forward to a cool drink in the highest African pub, after we have earned it together.
Over the highest pass roads of the Drakensberg, we make a stop in the Afriski area and aim for Clarens before we ride through the Golden Gate National Park.
To participate in this trip you don't have to be an off-road specialist, but you should have already ridden an adventure bike safely on off-paved roads.
