South Africa Safari Cycling

From first pick up to last drop off this was a well put together spectacular trip! Lizelle is a master in logistics and planning and smoothly adapted to changing circumstances and kept the tour alive, interesting and on track. Wendel, who met every situation with a engaging demeanour and smile is a walking encyclopaedia of South Africas flora and fauna, culture and history, and runs a mean Braai! Both Lizelle and Wendel meshed together superbly for a unforgettable experience for us. The scenery was magnificent, the biking was a good range of challenging and relaxing. We saw a lot of wildlife and had some magical up close experiences! The food was amazing- nutritious, tasty and plentiful and the accomodations captured the spirit of Safari. One of us had a mountain bike and the other a e-bike and we both were happy with our choices and the quality of the bikes.

I have done a number of European cycle tours. This was different. No other tour combines great cycling and sightseeing with seeing the Big 5 ( We saw 4- couldnt find that leopard) . Cycling was varied, tar, hard sand and some rough stuff. Accommodation was brilliant again varied Game Lodges and a 3 star hotel that should be 5 star.
I'm hopefully going back next year.
I took an E Bike and at 68 years of age it meant I enjoyed it.

Cycling with the well organized and considerate (chef even) Lizelle, and "South Africa's very own living wikipedia" Wendel as a guide, exceeded our expectations. Our Family of two teens and two adults got to experience a broad gamut of South Africa's more remote and rural ecology and culture on two wheels. A rare gem of a tour.

If you are looking for an adventure this is the trip for you. It is visually, mentally and physically stimulating. Probably the most organized tour i have been on, the day starts early and ends with a fire around the boma with nothing but smiles on everyones face. The guides are a wealth of knowledge on the history of South Africa and wildlife. The bike rides through the country side, amongst the wildlife and climbing the mountairns are a once in a liftime opportuntity. The interface with the wild life is up close and personal. We saw all the big 5 and much much more. Food and accomendations are all top notch. can't say enough good things about this tour.

We would not hesitate to recommend [the tour operator] to anyone considering a trip to South Africa. Our experience could not have been better. Lizelle was the perfect guide-- friendly, attentive, and extremely competent and organized. The entire trip was well-paced, with such varied experiences. We saw many beautiful rural spots and out-of-the-way places. Early May was a wonderful time of year to be there. Food and accommodations along the way were fabulous. Personal touches really made this trip memorable. And the biking! What a beautiful country to see by bike. This was truly a five-star trip.
