THE CLASSIC GARDEN ROUTE TOUR - 14 DAYS:

Pontoon at Malgas Route 62 Scenic mountain pass


Visor View

The Classic Garden Route Tour departs from Cape Town and we ride along South Africa's stunningly beautiful "Garden Route" coast line, as far east as Port Elizabeth. We then head inland and visit the Addo Elephant National Park, in search of the elusive Big 5 - lion, elephant, rhino, leopard and buffalo. After a relaxing stay at Addo our route takes us to the historic town of Graaff Reinet in the heart of the Groot Karoo and home to the Valley of Desolation. In Oudtshoon, the Klein Karoo ostrich capital of world, we have the opportunity to visit the famous Cango Caves. From here, we circle back to Cape Town via Route 62 and the Cape Winelands.

A "feel good" tour with great roads, food, drink and accommodation to compliment the breathtaking landscapes you will experience. We mostly travel on good asphalt roads, but depending on the mood and skills of the group, there is always an alternative gravel road to choose from.
