Cycling the Drakensberg & Kruger

This two wheeled adventure takes us through stunning mountain scenery and past dramatic rock formations, through abandoned gold mines, baboon inhabited forests and tranquil natural waterfalls. Part way through the trip we dismount our bikes and spend two days on safari in Kruger National Park where we have the chance to spot lions, rhinos, elephants, giraffes and various other wild animals. From Kruger we continue our pedal powered journey along the panorama route before ending at the mighty Blyde River Canyon. With perfect road surfaces and idyllic sunshine, there is surely no better way to experience eastern South Africa than by bike.

We spend 9 nights in small lodges and 2 nights in permanent tented camps. Most properties are small privately owned establishments that are clean and comfortable and all rooms have en-suite facilities apart from our accommodation in Kruger. This does mean that even if you have paid for a single supplement you will have to use the shared facilities at our accommodation in Kruger. The accommodation and locations we stay in throughout the trip are a real highlight and very memorable. One of the best has to be the eco lodge in the Drakensberg where you can spend the evening watching the sun set over the magnificent Drakensberg amphitheatre whilst our guides cook dinner on the Braai (BBQ).
