TIPS:
Our South Africa Cross Cape Gravel Bike Packing trip is not for gravel beginners, but you also don't have to be bike a backpacking professional either! Our bike packing trip along the Gardenroute is a 9-day gravel experience at its best. Countless kilometers of Gravel Road and one highlight after the other await you.
This bike packing trip is aimed at experienced riders. We cover a distance of approx. 80-100 km per day, depending on the stage. A break day is not planned, so you have to be sure that your fitness level is able to manage the entire route. Our pace will be moderate, nobody has to ride alone. However, if you want to ride at a faster pace, we will give you the GPX track for the stage. The road surface is mostly road, partly unpaved and partly asphalt.
