CUSTOM TOURS

Come and Tour With Us

We plan and ride exciting bike tours in Southern Africa, typically from 6-14 nights riding. All tours are bespoke to your requirements, or you can choose from some of our popular routes ridden in the past. We do not publish a schedule of dates as we only run tours on request.

We offer tours on Aventure bikes, Royal Enfields or Enduro bikes.

Royal Enfield Tours are typically around the Western Cape where the distances are shorter. Enduro bike tours are also typically around a week and run out of a base in the Eastern Cape with daily outrides.

Adventure bike tours are typically 10-14 days, which enable us to cover large parts of the country or neighbouring countries. These tours can be bareback, where we carry all our own luggage, or portered, where a support vehicle will transport all luggage. Costs are obviously higher for this luxury.

Indicative tour costs do not include airfares to South africa, nor bike rental. Bikes are provide by third party rentals companies with whom we generally have a realtionship and are comfortable with their bikes being on our tours. Most bike types (BMW, Africa Twin, KTM) are available to rent in South Africa.

Tour costs include acommodation, food and some alcohol! More details can be found in our T&C’s.

Please contact us to discuss your tour options. Ideally 6-8 bikers work best, but we can accomodate a few more if riders are reasonably experienced.

Itinerary For The Motorcycle Tour

It's our mission to support the South African tourism industry, which has been heavily hit by the Covid-19 crisis, by bringing much-needed cash flow to the small lodges we'll be staying at on our adventure. If you’re interested in finding out more about this intriguing off-road Karoo adventure, please read through the brief itinerary set out below and book your place on this incredible off-road adventure today...

The adventure kicks off in the historical town of Graaff-Reinet in the Eastern Cape Province. 

We all meet up at our lavish accommodation at around 5 pm.  Here we will enjoy a 5-star dinner at an award-winning hotel, while we get to know our fellow adventure bike riders.  The SA Adventure team will give a detailed rundown of the tour we are about to undertake, sharing many years’ experience and tales of off-road motorcycle adventures we've been on. We will also share some of the histories of this beautiful town, which is the fourth oldest in South Africa!

The fresh Karoo air will have ensured a deep nights’ rest, invigorating your mind and soul for the exciting day of riding ahead.  Following a hearty breakfast, we head off towards the beautiful Eastern Cape and the small village of Addo! We ride along some truly striking Karoo gravel roads with lots of stops for photos of the remarkable scenery. The back road that leads us away from Graaff Reinet is absolutely breathtaking. A notable stop is a place we’ve come to call Aloe Valley, where each one of the north-facing hills is covered with medicinal Aloe Ferox. “The amaXhosa have legends about the Aloe warriors that spring up from the Earth by the thousand. Their spears are the flowers, their leaves are their shields, and the stems are their bodies". With a watchful eye, they watch us ride past on our motorcycles.  We stop for a wonderful lunch at the Royal Hotel in the quaint town of Steytlerville (try the bobotie and apple crumble).  From here on the route becomes even more impressive! We drive through little Karoo towns and wind through mountains until we reach our accommodation on an orange farm on the banks of the Sundays River in Addo.  A perfect place to relax after a great day's riding.

The excitement about the day ahead is not easily contained! The passes we are going to traverse lie beyond imagination! Today we head towards the Baviaanskloof! On the way, we will be stopping in Patensie for picnic supplies.  We ride over the old lower bridge that crosses the Van Stadens river with a terrific ant’s eye view of the Van Stadens River Bridge! We will stop for some photos and drone shots and take in the beauty of the Eastern Cape vegetation. What comes next is the almost indescribable Baviaanskloof!

The valley of the Baviaanskloof - derived from the Dutch “valley of baboons”- is just under 200 kilometres in length and a truly fascinating place in terms of its geomorphology and geology. The rocks that form the Baviaanskloof mountains (to the North) and Kouga Mountains (to the South) are sandstones from the Table Mountain group formed when the southern Cape region was still part of the Gondwana supercontinent.  We’ll be riding our motorcycles through passes with views of unspoilt nature, plateaus of green, gorges with death-defying drops, beautiful streams and majestic mountains! We’ll stop for a roadside picnic lunch with one of the best views you’ll ever see!  Following our awesome ride through the Baviaanskloof reserve, we’ll stop for a quick coffee and a snack at a little shop on the edge of the reserve, before making our way to our accommodation for the night.  We’ll be staying in the creases of the Cape fold mountains in a lodge that’s completely hidden away from civilisation.

After a hearty breakfast in the mountains, we continue our motorcycle adventure towards Prince Albert via the Swartberg Pass!  Spanning from Outshoorn in the South and Prince Albert in the North, and stretching a satisfying 27km, the Swartberg Pass is well known and considered one of the world's bucket list passes to ride on an adventure motorcycle. This road, the R328, runs from East to West, along the Northern part of the Little Karoo in the Western Cape, over the Swartberg Mountain Range. Built by Thomas Bain and opened in 1888, this beautiful twin-track winding climb will quite possibly leave you at a loss for words. The summit is at 1583m asl and we’ll stop here for a while to take in the most unimaginable views before zig-zagging our way down one of the finest exposed fold mountain chains in the world with the most unusual geology.

Almost immediately after exiting the pass, we arrive in the special town of Prince Albert. Steeped in history and legend, this little Western Cape town, founded in 1762 is only accessible via the Swartberg Pass, Meiringspoort and Seweweekspoort. The immaculately preserved Victorian, Cape Dutch and Karoo buildings of Prince Albert are mostly considered national monuments and make for great photos in the early evening.

This part of the Karoo has so much to offer, and so, for this reason, we’ve decided to spend an extra day in Prince Albert!  The many options for the day include a ride out to an olive or fig farm; visiting the cheese factory; going to the museum or galleries; or a guided early morning nature walk in the Wolwekraal Nature Reserve where we’ll learn about the geology, botany, the natural and cultural history of the area.  As an added bonus, and we suspect one of the reasons you are signing up for this motorcycle adventure, we will also do an optional guided ride over the Gamkaskloof to the quirky little place known as “Die Hel”! This ride will be around 5 hours through semi-technical terrain and passes, with scenery that will leave you speechless.

As there is a multitude of stories about ghosts in the Karoo and especially Prince Albert, we can’t leave without going on a ghost tour! We’ll set out at dusk with our guide, a local of Prince Albert, who will tell us more about the legends and ghosts of this beautiful town and its inhabitants, including those spirits who don’t seem to want to leave! 

Today, we get to ride on very hidden Karoo dirt roads with the beautiful scenery of the Moordenaars-Karoo all around us! There will be no other vehicles driving on these back roads for hours, and you’ll be very happy to be on an adventure with a group of people, as being stranded in this part of South Africa will make you understand why it’s called the Murderer’s Karoo.  We’ll have an incredible lunch in the Karoo town of Fraserburg where we’ve found a Chef that really knows what quality food is!  After lunch, we get back onto the gravel roads that will take us towards the picturesque Karoo National Park! Situated at the foot of the Nuweveld Mountains, the Park has a wide variety of wildlife and rich fossil history.  After check-in, we’ll go on an optional game drive followed by a walk on the fossil trail where we’ll see some of the most well-preserved fossils of the animals that roamed these parts 250 million years ago. We’ll have a delicious dinner in the restaurant before retiring to our rooms, which will be chalets bounded by the lofty mountains and desolate Karoo desert...

The last day of the tour is generally quite tough, knowing that we’re on our way back to “The Real World” and not being sure how we’re going to adjust back into it, can put a damper on things.  For this reason, we’ve ensured that we’ll end this tour with a real highlight! Awesome Karoo gravel roads and spectacular Karoo scenery will lead us to our accommodation for the night: Somewhere between Nieu-Bethesda and Hanover, we’ve found a stunning farm stay with buffalo, hippo and a multitude of game!  On arrival, we’ll go out for a short game drive and have sundowners overlooking the Seekoi river and try to spot the last hippo in the Karoo.  For tonight’s dinner, we’ll have “Karoo Sushi” as a starter, followed by the best Karoo home-cooked dinner you’ll ever have!  Make sure to leave some space for dessert, as you will be treated to the best milk tart you’ve tasted in your life! 

During dinner we’ll close off the tour by sharing our favourite moments, lessons and skills learnt and integrate this awesome experience!

You only get one life, you decide how you’re going to spend it.

Fortunately, there is no better place for self-reflection than on an adventure.

Make sure it's with SA Adventure…

You can relax on your adventure and know that the  SA Adventure  team has taken care of all the details to make your experience an unforgettable one!

Andrew Ernst

Very happy with all aspects of the tour. Time on the bike was therapy on two wheels- thoroughly enjoyed myself. Excellent forethought and planning with safety aspects at the forefront. A good alternative plan for rain day situations and/or unexpected delays. Well done SA Adventure team!

Rudy Viljoen

Great tour with excellent guides and staff. I can highly recommend Tim and his crew to take you on your next adventure bike tour.

Thank you SA Adventure, you guys rock

John Edmeston

Totally professional and superbly organised with excellent safety and backup services in place. 

Learnt new skills and met new friends and had so much fun. 

Cannot fault the tour and would highly recommend it. 

The fact that this was my 5th tour with Tim Skelton and the SA Adventure crew, says it all.

I've done a few motorcycle tours with SA Adventure and I've never come away unsatisfied with the way they run their operation, from safety to good accommodation and food.

I have learnt so much over these motorcycle trips.

What People Are Saying

When I booked this motorcycle trip I wanted the trip of a lifetime...

I got it and then some. Wow. What an experience! Andrew and Greg aren't just great guides, they're also just really great people -- a joy to ride with and also a joy to hang out with. They ran my 22 day tour without a hitch and made sure we stopped at all the best secret spots. And the bikes we rode for absolutely perfect for the trip. Africa Twin! I'm a fan for life.  

WILL ELLIOT   //  San Francisco

We had considered navigating the trip ourselves...

... but we would have missed out on so many personal insights, hidden gems and juicy tit-bits of local folklore. An unforgettable four days of biking through breathtakingly beautiful scenery and daily excursions which left us wishing that we’d booked double the time.

LAURA IDENSOHN   //  Saudi Arabia

I can't imagine going with anyone else on a trip like we did...

Thank you Andrew for an amazing experience. You listened to our needs and crafted a tour to suit our group of 4 west coast Canadians and 1 American. You gave great leadership and service all the way. Ending the tour in Victoria Falls was a perfect finale to an amazing trip, on which, we saw and experienced so much.

Michael Durham

"My experience of riding in Southern Africa has led me on this path of doing what I love and what motivates me every day - the pleasure of sharing our beautiful region with our guests in the best way possible - on two wheels."

Andrew Vaughan

owner and guide

Andrew Vaughan is the owner, lead guide, chief mechanic, email answerer and new route explorer at Ride Down South.  His biggest motorcycling adventure was a 30 000km ride from Vancouver, Canada to Cape Town via Russia, Eastern Europe and Africa on a Kawasaki KLR 650 in 2007.  Now he gets to tour Africa on Honda Africa Twins - a much better ride!

Our Motorcycles

Our fully owned and lovingly cared-for fleet of Honda Africa Twin CRF1000 and Transalp 750 motorcycles are built to handle the African roads we ride with ease

The Honda Africa Twins were everything a person could need to travel the rugged terrain.  I own a BMW F800gs, and was still blown away by the maneuverability of the AT and it’s ability to tackle a variety of conditions.  Andrew’s knowledge of the mechanical aspect of the bike and riding expertise provided a completely worry free traveling experience."

South Africa Tour

Curvy mountain roads, stunning coastlines, and African wildlife!

South Africa is also called the "world in 1 country" because there are high mountains and wide plains, rugged coasts, and endless beaches, dry semi-deserts, and almost tropical-looking primeval forests. In addition, there is a wealth of flora and fauna that is second to none. On this motorcycle tour, you will get to see all of that. In the Drakensberg Mountains, rushing waterfalls await us, and at "God's Window" a view that can only be described as divine. In Kruger National Park you can see lions, elephants, rhinos, and many other wild animals at close range, and in the evening, while enjoying your meal under the starry sky, you can hear the lions roar in the distance. We will immerse ourselves in Zulu culture and the cultivation of wine grapes, which are pressed into some of the world's finest wines in the Cape Town hinterland. The rest day in Franschhoek is perfect for oenological exploration! With a little luck, you'll be able to spot whales right from the shore, and with a little courage, you might jump off the world's highest Bungy bridge! Of course, we will also ride the famous Chapman's Peak Drive, this magnificent panoramic road high above the roaring Atlantic Ocean, and take the obligatory photo of the famous sign at the Cape of Good Hope. And of course, we’ll ride our motorcycles extensively, because that's what the wonderful routes in this one-world country are made for.

02 Nov 2024 - 17 Nov 2024

Touring South Africa with Edelweiss Bike Travel means I got to meet the Chief of a Zulu village and learned about their history and culture. I even fought and danced with the warriors. We rode up and down Swartberg Pass and saw giraffes and zebras, and more exotic animals on the safari in Kruger National Park. We spent some time at the legendary Cape of Good Hope and, of course, enjoyed the picnics at the sea. The group was fantastic, as was the tour guide and every day was memorable!

To sum up this incredible country and the Edelweiss South Africa Tour in a short paragraph is just impossible. Each day was filled with panoramic vistas I never before experienced, with exotic wildlife, the smiling faces of the locals and wonderful and delicious cuisine. Markus, our fearless leader, has been guiding this tour for 20 years, and he made every day an incredible adventure. Highlights are just too difficult to choose. However, the 600 ft. bungee jump off the Bloukrans Bridge sort of stands out in my memory. All of the routes were carefully chosen to stimulate even the most experienced riders. I had a truly spectacular trip!

Südafrika Tour

Unsere allererste Edelweiss-Tour hat uns nach Marokko geführt und wir haben diese Reise so sehr genossen, dass wir sofort das Jahr darauf auch mit Edelweiss nach Südafrika gefahren sind. Beide Touren sind einfach großartig hinsichtlich der Motorradrouten, der spektakulären Landschaft, dem Zusammenhalt in der Gruppe und den fremden Kulturen, die es zu entdecken gilt, wie zum Beispiel die Medina in Marrakesch und Fes oder die Safari und Shakaland in Südafrika. Edelweiss hat wirklich unvergessliche Touren zusammengestellt und wir werden sicher bald wieder ein Motorrad-Abenteuer mit dieser Firma buchen.

Auf einer Edelweiss Bike Travel Tour ist jeder Augenblick unglaublich. Vom ersten bis zum letzten Tag auf unserer Südafrika Tour hat sich Edelweiss um alles gekümmert. Die Motorräder waren im besten Zustand, die Routen und Sehenswürdigkeiten einzigartig. Vor allem die Möglichkeit alleine unterwegs zu sein war für unsere kleine Gruppe ideal. Wir werden mit Sicherheit noch viele Touren mit Edelweiss Bike Travel machen.

The team of Edelweiss Bike Travel wants to say thank you to Marcos Barros for participating in our South Africa Tour and for putting together such a great report about our tour in issue 110-2010 of Moto Adventure magazine. Published with the permission of Moto Adventure for Edelweiss Bike Travel. Not for resale or distribution.

After traveling from the USA to South Africa I decided spur of the moment to rent a motorcycle and venture out to see parts of the country that I would not have been able to see otherwise.

The riding is also very good and they have a good system to allow riders of varying skill levels have fun riding together...
