South Africa

Rainbow Ride

Coined the Rainbow Nation for its diverse landscapes, multi-cultures, preserved wildlife, stunning natural beauty, vibrant cities, and rich history - South Africa is everything you want in a motorcycle tour! 

We will ride the entire spectrum – from pristine coastal cliffs where the Atlantic and the Indian ocean meet, to manicured wine country.  From mountainous dessert landscapes of the Klein Karoo through the rugged African bush.  From the lush rainforest of Tsitsikama through the famous Garden Route.  Now add to that, fantastic wines, great cuisine, joyous music and spectacular vibes all around!  This is one you won’t want to miss!

    The support vehicle will travel behind the group for most of the tour, with the exception of when on occasion, picnic lunches are to be prepared. In this case the vehicle will be ahead of the group so that the lunch is made and prepared by the arrival time of the group.

    It is always the goal of the support vehicle to arrive at the hotel prior to the group in order to send the luggage to the rooms and have much needed beers waiting for the group upon parking the bikes.

  • We will have a face to face meeting at least 2 weeks prior to departure. During this meeting we will have a presentation of the tour in more detail answering any other questions you may have. This is also an opportunity to meet your fellow riders prior to the tour, and so, we will raise a toast.

    If you are unable to meet face to face due to distance, a separate video call will be set up.
