Here is a short description of this Garden Route and cycle safari adventure bike holiday ››
Part 1 - Day 1 - CAPE TOWN • (cycling - off road on single track) - B&B&D

Day 2 - CAPE TOWN • (cycling - off road on single track) - B&B
Ride some excellent single track amoung fynbos bushes and resident baboons in the Tokai Forest on the Cape Peninsula near Constantia.

We start cycling at our guesthouse and head for Bains Kloof, one of the famous passes built in South Africa by Thomas Bains. There is little traffic on this quiet road, where at the summit we have a good view of Wellington and Paarl. The fun starts with the downhill towards the Slanghoek valley, a landscape of wine fields. In the evening we can appreciate the night stars and enjoy a traditional barbeque - locally called a braai…
Day 5 - MONTAGU • (cycling - tar and gravel roads) - B&B&D
We transfer to Touws Rivier and take a gravel road back towards the Roohoogte Pass. After the stunning downhill, we turn off road and cycle 10km along a 4x4 track to Simonskloof farm. This is run by a Swiss outbacker, who has walking trails and mtb trails in the mountains. Either swim in the farm dam or tackle some more routes on the farm. We have no electricity here, so it is cooking around the campfire for us
Day 6 - CARLITZDORP • (rest day - sightseeing - no cycling) - B&B&D
Today we take a break from cycling and transfer along the famous Route 62, the alternative Garden Route, where we head further into the semi desert Karoo area.

Our evening rest place is an old Victorian farm run by a charming couple, who have a fully proficient working farm, with ostriches and home grown produce. They will prepare a fine home cooked meal
Day 7 - PRINCE ALBERT • (cycling - gravel roads and pass) - B&B
This is the toughest cycling day, but it will be the most spectacular with great views of the Karoo. We cycle from the farm after eating a good ostrich omelette for breakfast. The downhill towards Prince Albert promises some of the best mountain biking in South Africa
