Cycling tours in South Africa

Explore the mysterious places of South Africa by bike

South Africa, and especially the Cape Province, has a lot to offer its visitors. Vineyards, partly untouched nature, primeval forests, and ostrich and elephant farms make cycling tours in South Africa an unforgettable adventure that is guaranteed to remain a positive memory for a long time to come. For cycling enthusiasts and trekkers, this mysterious continent has many surprises in store. What's more, the breathtaking nature combined with the wonderful weather is perfect for daily cycling excursions. Cycling tours in South Africa can be planned specifically so that you can see as much as possible of this exciting continent and the region around Cape Town. The metropolis itself is, of course, another highlight that you can include in your trip through South Africa.

The Garden Route as a prime example of exciting cycling trips in South Africa

The Garden Route, one of the absolute timeless highlights for cyclists in South Africa, lasts a total of 12 days and 11 nights. After starting in Port Elizabeth, the route takes you through the Knysna region, past the Swartberg Mountains, and finally to Kleinmond, Gordons Bay, and then to the Cape of Good Hope, which should be familiar even to tourists who have not yet experienced the continent up close. The exciting bike tour through South Africa ends at the Garden Route in the global metropolis of Cape Town, where you can experience African culture up close in lively contrast to the country's traditions.

During the Gardens Tour, the bike tours through South Africa pass ostrich farms, a stalactite cave, and lush, fruitful wine regions. A hike on Table Mountain provides a change from the bike saddle and handlebars and allows for an enchanting view over large parts of the Cape Province. Exciting accommodations during the bike tours are of course also provided, for example directly:

• in Addo National Park,
• Tsitsikamma National Park
• or finally, at the end of the trip, directly in a 4-star hotel in Cape Town.

There are always opportunities for exciting photos and spontaneous snapshots during cycling tours through South Africa. It's best to capture the most beautiful moments for eternity with your cell phone or a professional camera.

Experience scenic and cultural highlights up close

Variety and diversity are the hallmarks of a cycling tour through South Africa. This requires participants to be in at least moderate physical condition, as peak temperatures above 30 degrees Celsius can be demanding on the circulation, but are very bearable thanks to the generally low humidity. Finally, spending the night in higher areas promises some respite from the warm weather and sun, as temperatures can drop significantly here.

The incredible diversity of the landscape and the cultural highlights of the region are another incentive to explore them by bike rather than by car. This way, you can not only breathe in the African air during your excursions, but also truly enjoy the enchanting landscapes. Relaxing picnics right by the Atlantic and Indian Oceans provide a chance to cool off and relax in between activities. Once you've recharged your batteries, you'll be ready to enjoy the exciting worlds of southern Africa even more.

Unforgettable adventures by bike

It is the sights along the route, from Table Mountain to ostrich farms to the tall jungle trees of the Homtini Pass, that make a bike tour through South Africa so enticing. There is no shortage of real highlights, whether you prefer historic buildings or blossoming nature. Small towns give you a first-hand feel for African culture, which culminates in a visit to the global metropolis of Cape Town.
