ABOUT THE ROUTE

 

The riding part is the same as BAV-8, however this tour is intended for guests already in the Garden Route area or flying directly to/from George.

.

This tour summarises everything adventure motorcycling in South Africa is about: remoteness, immensity, endurance, technical challenges, and last but not least the landscape diversity of the country.

.

The over 1’200km route has been optimised for the use of small displacement motorcycles, avoiding long stretches of main gravel roads.

.

The itinerary will bring you through some of the most spectacular places of South Africa , such as the Swartberg Pass, the Gamkaskloof (Die Hel), the Grootrivier Poort, the iconic Baviaanskloof and the Kouga mountains, before returning to Sedgefield via the Prince Alfred’s Pass and a final highlight (Die Ou Voortrekkerpas trail) through the Outeniqua Mountains.

.

Visit HERE the 9 riding day tour from/to Sedgefield, which is actually the same riding tour as the [SED-6] tour but additionally includes the Rooiberg Pass, Anysberg Reserve and Seweweekspoort stages.

OTHER INFORMATION

 

This tour only requires basic off-road skills, however and although the small displacement dual-sport motorcycles make things easier than with a big adventure bike, a reasonable level of fitness is strongly recommended.

.

Some of the trails are not practicable after heavy rains, in that manner the itinerary described might be, for safety reasons, slightly modified and without prior notice.

.

We are happy to organise extra accommodation for you, e.g. on the day before the tour and/or last day, please specify your request in the booking form.

.

Daily domestic flights to/from George Airport (Cape Town, Joburg or Durban).
