Tar & Gravel Tour
Our Combined Tours are journeys on tar (asphalt), as well as gravel (dirt) roads. The ratio between tar and gravel sections is generally about 50/50, but this can be altered to suit your group's preference. We can even change the type of road "on the fly" as they say, in other words a specific day's riding can be changed on the spot, from a tar to a gravel route and vice versa if required by the group or circumstances. With MotoSouthAfrica everything is possible! The roads that we choose for these tours are all well maintained and safe to use at any time of the year, in all weather conditions. There are no serious technical sections, but changing weather conditions may create some adventurous parts from time to time. Safety will, of course, always be of paramount importance.

MINIMUM Riding Experience required for this Tour:
INTERMEDIATE, with experience on gravel roads.

Your 10-Day
Tour Itinerary
Imagine yourself on a South African Motorcycle Tour...with an itinerary that looks like THIS:
Day of ARRIVAL
Welcome to Cape Town! Your journey begins with a warm airport greeting and transfer to the iconic V&A Waterfront. Spend the day discovering the vibrant “Mother City,” then meet your tour group for a welcome drink, trip briefing, and dinner at one of Cape Town’s top restaurants.
Day 1: EXPLORE CAPE TOWN
After breakfast, start your adventure by receiving your motorcycle and go on a scenic ride through Cape Town to get comfortable on your bike. Enjoy a leisurely lunch at one of the Cape’s renowned wine estates, then wind down with a delicious dinner at a vibrant Waterfront restaurant. This is just the beginning!
Day 2: COASTAL RIDE TO THE TIP OF AFRICA
Ride along South Africa’s breathtaking coastline as you leave Cape Town behind. Savor authentic local cuisine for lunch, then journey through rolling farmlands to reach the legendary southernmost tip of Africa—where two oceans meet and adventure truly begins.
Day 3: A DRINK IN THE DESERT
Venture inland across a mighty river by pont and cruise through a breathtaking mountain pass. Step back in time at a quaint coffee shop in the desert. Then mount your steed, ride down the mountains once more, follow a dusty trail along a river, and end on the rocks in a picturesque seaside village. End the day with a sundowner and a well-earned, authentic South African “braai”...
*Braai - Definition: /brʌɪ/ South African English; noun
Adventure never tasted this good!
Day 4: MEETING ELEPHANTS
Day four brings something truly unforgettable—a walk in the wild with majestic elephants! After a short ride, meet these gentle giants up close in an experience that will stay with you forever. Then it’s back into the mountains, where we settle in for two nights on a beautifully preserved historic farm.
Pure magic!
Day 5: OSTRICHES AND CAVES
Only 20kms to ride on Day 5, because it’s a rest day—but only for the bikes! Get up close with Africa’s iconic ostriches on a fascinating farm visit, followed by a hearty lunch. Then, journey deep into ancient caves, millions of years old, for an unforgettable underground adventure. Rest day?
More like thrill day!
Day 6: RIDING THE LONGEST GRAVEL MOUNTAIN PASS
Today, you’ll view history, make history, and live it! Start with a surprise visit to a unique museum, and after a seafood lunch, conquer South Africa’s longest accessible gravel mountain pass. Your journey ends in a charming historic town, where you’ll spend the night in a hotel dating back to 1864.
A day for the books!
Day 7: A BIKE TOUR WITH A LUXURY AFRICAN SAFARI
Ride South Africa’s most scenic gravel mountain passes, then cruise a thrilling stretch of tar to your luxury safari escape. Feel like royalty for a night—spot Africa’s iconic wildlife, sip award-winning wines, and dine in elegance. After a restful night in world-class comfort, an early game drive and hearty breakfast set the tone for your next unforgettable adventure.
Day 8: A CHANGE OF SCENERY
Ride deep into the Western Cape’s shifting mountain landscapes, where fynbos stretches endlessly and every turn reveals new beauty. Navigate dirt roads with care—your reward is a magical, nostalgic setting under the stars. Camp in comfort, share great food and stories, and wake ready for adventure. The next day brings epic outrides, a visit to a historic village, a swim in the pools of a mountain stream, visit a waterfall, and the ultimate danger-selfie moment.
This is what it means to feel truly alive!
Day 9: BACK TO CAPE TOWN
As our tour draws to a close, the ride back to Cape Town is filled with nostalgia, memories, and the sweeping curves of the Western Cape. Enjoy lunch at a charming local spot before re-entering the buzz of the city. Back at your familiar hotel, freshen up in luxury before celebrating the journey with an unforgettable farewell dinner in one of the Mother City’s finest restaurants.
The perfect ending to an extraordinary adventure.
Day 10: DEPARTURE DAY
