Adventure through South Africa, a country as diverse in landscape as it is in culture. Vibrant urban cities, dramatic mountain ranges, stunning seaside cliffs, and abundant bushveld cover the country.

The Republic of South Africa doesn’t only boast giraffes, lions, hyenas, elephants, rhinos, and hippos (though you’ll likely see those while on safari), it also is home to Table Mountain in Cape Town, one of the oldest mountains in the world! And your exploration doesn’t end with wild African landscapes, you can also visit botanical gardens and wineries along Route 62, a scenic road stretching the eastern and western Cape.

What are you waiting for? Take a ride on the wild side and visit the southernmost country in Africa!

• What makes South Africa a great destination for a bike tour?

  South Africa offers cyclists a diverse array of breathtaking cycling routes, from the coastal roads of the Garden Route and the Cape Peninsula to the vineyards of the Cape Winelands.

  South Africa is also one of the only countries in the world where cyclists can go on bike safaris, cycling near the national parks where elephants, giraffes, and zebras roam. 

  With sunshine all year round and mild winters, South Africa offers comfortable riding conditions at almost time of the year.

• When is the best time to take a bike tour in South Africa?

  The best time to take a cycle tour in South Africa is spring (March–May) and autumn (September–November) when temperatures are warm but comfortable (20–28°C/68–82°F).

  December to February is very hot inland, though milder along coastal routes.

  June to August brings cooler weather and the chance of occasional rain in the south, although the weather is still mild and sunny.

• Are South Africa bike tours suitable for beginners?

  Yes – many routes are designed for relaxed riding along paved roads with gently rolling terrain. E-bikes and support vehicles are typically available.
