Bicycle Tours & Trips in South Africa
South Africa opens up nicely on two wheels with bike routes that balance good exercise and pure enjoyment. There's this excellent three-day ride from Stellenbosch through Helshoogte Pass - a route Dutch and French pioneers used centuries ago. You'll cycle alongside mountain streams in Banhoek Conservancy where you might spot Eland and Oryx in their natural habitat. Day two covers 60km around Theewaterskloof Dam mostly on gravel paths and the final day takes you down through Hemel and Aarde valley's well-maintained cycling tracks. Our riders really like how the routes mix cycling with stops at wine estates and having support vehicles nearby means intermediate cyclists can tackle these tours with confidence.
