I have recently returned from the excellent Springbok tour of the Garden Route with Kaapstad Motorcycle Adventure Tours.
The guide Alex has an unbridled enthusiasm for Africa, the wildlife and motorcycles which ensured that we all got the most out of our tour.

Without exception the best tour I have been on.I had never to SA before and if you like motorcycling , fantastic scenery and out of the way places this is for you . Alex has found some amazing roads to ride ( tar and gravel ) and some unusual places to stay, all with perfect hosts. A great trip that will stay with me forever. Thanks Alex .

If you want to see South Africa this is the way to do it, fantastic country, great people, I shared memories with a great group of people.
Kaapstad Motorcycle Tours, the best way to see South Africa. Thank you Alex for the memories of a lifetime.

The scenery was lovely, food excellent and the people were really friendly and welcoming. As for the tour, it was great. The bikes you supplied were top quality and the routes were a good mix of quality road and not too daunting off road sections. The safari’s were excellent and your knowledge added that extra personal touch. It was a real privilege to get up so close to the animals. Don’t be surprised if we book another tour soon!

It was fantastic riding the bikes from the hotel (all delivered and ready for us) and into the African countryside. The game parks we stayed in were of the highest standard and exceeded our expectations. Being able to see all the mountain sights and the animals in the wild was incredible and made all the better with Alex as guide and a wealth of information, he certainly knows his stuff and gives you every confidence. The biggest surprise was seeing the animals close up in the wild…

This was my first motorbike tour in any foreign country. I have to say that this tour is unique and amazing. The country, scenery and people are all wonderful. I had so many first time experiences in the space of 10 days, that it is almost unbelievable. The experience is enhanced by the fact that the guide is so knowledgeable and almost like a local. This certainly proved itself when you see and do things that a normal tourist would never see and do, even some locals would not have known some of the things that Alex does. Some of the individual experiences on the trip, are so unique that I would never get the chance to have them again ever! I would happily do this tour again, as I know there would be other unique experiences to be had, and I am seriously considering another tour with Kaapstad.

If you’re looking for many types of riding through villages, mountain ranges and the forest you’ll do well with Kaapstad Motorcycle Adventure Tours. The pace cracks along, but still allows time for the all-important lunch and coffee breaks. Alex has found a wide range of places to stop overnight, they’re all interesting and the food is always at least good, but often brilliant. Safety is key, so there’s no pressure to break speed limits. Perhaps one of the more important aspects of the longer trips is that Alex always has a plan for the inevitable hiccups.

Second time on a tour with Alex, this time on the Kudu tour, as a couple. The riding sometimes took us out of our comfort zone but the destinations were invariably worth it. The whole trip constituted a proper little adventure. Stunning scenery and friendly people. Highlights, for us, were the the full moon rising over the river at Rorke’s Drift Hotel, the beehive huts in Swaziland, and the magical evening bush brai at Moholoholo under the stars and the milky way. All in all, a challenging but rewarding experience.

I had the most amazing time on the Springbok tour with Alex. I’d only ever done the garden route via the national road and doing it on back roads on a mixture of gravel and tar was awesome. The passes were a complete thrill. I can’t wait to do another tour with Alex, it is heaven having everything prepared and sorted for you… all you have to do is ENJOY THE RIDE!!!!
