South Africa Cycling Holiday

Including The Whale Coast and

Our South Africa cycling holiday is not your typical tourist trip – it has all the must-see places but so much more. Beautiful scenery in National Parks, on excellent roads, heritage, history, marine life, museums, fine dining, the best wines in the country, and much more.

On this South Africa cycling Garden Route wine tour, we visit some of the top South African vineyards in the Cape Winelands which have earned a renowned status for not only their distinguished award-winning wine estates but the epic beauty of their lush and bountiful surroundings, all steeped in old Cape Dutch history. We’ve made sure that this itinerary has something for everyone. We’ll give you a locals insight to the Cape and make it feel like home.
