MOUNTAIN BIKING IN SOUTH AFRICA

For mountain biking enthusiasts, South Africa is a mecca of spectacular and exhilarating South African mountain bike trails for both the novice and the experienced.

There are numerous cycling routes all over South Africa ranging from several hours to mountain bike tours of several days.

Close to Johannesburg, is the Magaliesberg Mountains, where biking trails offer spectacular views.

For true remote wilderness, mountain biking through the Drakensberg Mountains in KwaZulu Natal is unsurpassed.

The magical indigenous forests of Knysna are a cool and tranquil place to cycle and 15km outside of Knysna is the Hamtini Mountain Bike Trail.

Table Mountain, in Cape Town, offers a challenging ride and the view from the top is well worth the effort. Lush valleys, cool streams and unique flora and fauna are some of the sights you will be treated to along the way. Other options are mountain bike routes through the Cape Winelands and around the spectacular cliffs of the Cape Peninsula. Near Swellendam, the De Hoop Nature Reserve offers an interesting and relatively easy trail whilst nearby are several more strenuous routes.

Mountain bike tours visit the undeveloped Cape West Coast and the remote Cederberg Mountains.

Many magnificent trails traverse the dramatic mountain terrain and lush valleys of Mpumalanga. A new adrenaline pumping adventure is a guided mountain bike safari in the Kruger National Park where you can combine physical activity and wildlife viewing.
