A 7-day self-guided loop from St Francis Bay, around 1,300 km and about 70% gravel. You ride the Baviaanskloof, cross the Karoo through Willowmore and Prince Albert, take on its historic mountain passes, then return along the Garden Route and Tsitsikamma.
Self-guided means you ride at your own pace with no group and no guide in front. We supply the adventure motorcycle with luggage, a GPS loaded with the route, pre-booked overnight stops with secure parking and breakfast, an airport transfer, a safety briefing at handover and 24/7 breakdown backup. Days are roughly 4–6 hours in the saddle and planned to finish in daylight.
For riders comfortable on gravel who want freedom more than a convoy. Available all year, with October to April the driest months. Full details and pricing at outboundmoto.co.za.
