Rugged adventure riding tracks as high as 3000 meters above sea level, stunning lodges and epic vitas. 12 Legendary gravel passes, 680km and 5 nights lodge accommodation. Support van and trailer on request.

Tour details:

Join us for four days of epic mountain riding (+ two transfer days) on South Africa’s highest and  most beautiful gravel / off-road tracks. Every inch of track is complimented by breathtaking vistas and fresh mountain air.  Like all Wildwood tours we pride ourselves on finding ‘the road less traveled and often include a tricky path or two to get the blood flowing. But be rest assure this is adventure and not enduro.  We recommend average off-road adventure riding skills and our fleet of KTM500EXC adventure will ease you through the more rugged tracks. You are always welcome to ride your personal bike and good riders should be comfortable on the bigger adventure twin models

Lodging:

At the end of each days adventure you’ll love the warm and friendly country lodges and hotels the area is well renowned for. If a log fire, old world bar and country cooking is something you look forward to you’ve joined the right tour. Five nights bed & breakfast + 2 dinners included)

Logistics:

Riding  starts and ends near the village of Elliot in the Eastern Cape. Additionally a shuttle is available to and from East London Airport (+- 250km) on request.
