Baviaanskloof Wild Ride – Starting and ending in Prince Albert (Western Cape)

Baviaanskloof is rated the no.1 adventure ride destination in South Africa. A stunning gorge that cuts a swathe from the dry Karoo semi-desert to the East Coast. Plenty of rugged mountain crossings, challenging water crossing if they’ve had rain as well a good chance of animal encounters. The area has a wide selection of antelope including Kudu and buffalo as well big cats like leopards.

A giant loop starting & ending in the quaint Karoo town of Prince Albert on a mix of scenic gravel tracks and more technical two tracks in the mountains.

We enter through the rugged Grootrivierpoort a remote gorge crossing the Groot River and climbing up a steep rugged track into the Kloof. Day 3 starts with the highlight of the tour, a loop up to and around the lesser known Side Entry climb. Unbelievable vistas and good challenging climb on the bigger bikes.

Tour distance: 850km

Technical level: Experienced riders only.
