This tour has the value of amazing sights and excellent riding from rugged mountains to tranquil scenic dirt and tar roads. Added to this you can enjoy getting out of the daily rut we all tend to fall into and have a holiday that is unique.

Day 1 Sani Pass (D)
Departing from Durban we ride west through the Valley of a 1000 Hills along the famous Comrades Marathon route to Richmond on tar, whilst getting acquainted with our machines. From here we head towards Sani Pass on some scenic dirt roads, through the Sappi Forests, to the foot of Sani Pass where we spend the night.

Day 2 Katse Dam (B,D)
After an early morning breakfast at our hotel we tackle the world famous Sani Pass on our two wheelers, up through the border into what we know as the “Roof of Africa”.
We then saddle down for a full day of awesome scenic riding through the beautiful Lesotho mountain passes to Katse Dam, where we arrive in the late afternoon at our lodge.

Day 3 Semonkong (B,D)
After doing a tour of the Dam another full day lies ahead of chewing the African dust, with some more seriously scenic riding through high mountains and valley's on dirt roads. Crossing through the Blue Mountain pass we head down to Semonkong where we have the opportunity to explore the highest free falling waterfall in Southern Africa as well as the beauty and culture the region has to offer. We scrub up for the night at a nearby lodge.

Day 4 Malealea Lodge (B,D)
This morning we spend some time exploring the area before taking a cruise to Malealea Lodge via some off beat tracks. Here you have an opportunity to relax for the afternoon, soaking up the peaceful atmosphere.

Day 5 Malealea Lodge (B,D)
Today is a free day for visit the craft markets, take a popular pony trek, explore the area or just take a well deserved break at this oasis lodge overlooking a tranquil valley.

Day 6 Kwa Zulu Natal (B,D)
This morning we depart from Malealea heading south east through the border back into South Africa. We do some great dirt roads and spend the night in a small farming community at the foot of the beautiful Drakensburg Mountains.

Day 7 Durban (B)
After a traditional farmer’s breakfast we take our machines towards the Indian Ocean through some spectacular farm and forest roads riding alongside the coast and into Durban late afternoon where we say farewell to our fellow riders.
