The beautiful Cape Town is often compared to Rio de Janeiro, Sydney and San Francisco. We hope that you’ll be also thrilled. Do you know, Jan van Riebeeck? On 6 April 1652, 15 days before his birthday, he set anchor in the Cape of Good Hope and Peninsula. Why his name is mentioned in history books, why for some history only begins with the Dutch Cape Colony of the Dutch East India Company and why some things are forgotten or not mentioned; you’ll soon find out on our tour.
Tour Description
Discover the rainbow nation!
We invite you to a unique adventure tour, a motorcycle holiday experience to remember. Visit cities, find the track of the Huguenots, experience Nature and Wildlife, witness a 180 degrees star-sky in the Karoo, the semi-desert, search for celestial objects and find the Southern Cross, respect over 1’000 years old yellow-wood trees, so much to see and to discover.
Some towns with theirs buildings have «frozen» in older days and the bigger cities are most modern. You might even still find hand operated fuel pumps. The contrast between the Old and the New is quite significant and that, makes it so interesting and mysterious. A world in one rainbow country.
No Stress, no rush, no long distances, time to enjoy
We have purposely started our tour in Cape Town. Each one may arrive at their own convenience and we are their to greet you and to help you with your needs.
As one of the top 10 cities in the world, Cape Town deserves a place at the top of your bucket-list. Explore what makes this city so special among visitors and locals alike, and let Cape Town’s charm captivated you.
The tour is a bit longer as we shortened the daily distance and made more time to discover and experience extensively.
Game reserve accommodation and game drive included
We think that while in Africa, you have to experience the bush, the nature and its wildlife. Will you come again to South Africa? We do not know, therefore we plan our itinerary as if it would be you first and last visit to this beautiful rainbow country.
Two nights in the Kruger National Park with games drives are included in our journey.
