South Africa Bike Tours

Mountains to Sea at the Southern Tip of Africa

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!
