Mountain Biking on a Karoo Farm

Day 1 Depart Johannesburg for an 8 hour drive to Graaff-Reinet, fondly known as the Gem of the Karoo. At about 5pm you will be welcomed on the farm by your friendly hosts Doug and Liz. Sundowners will be enjoyed in the lapa followed by a traditional Karoo barbecue.

Day 2 Up early, good bowl of porridge and set off on a 16 km cycle into New Bethesda, made famous by Athol Fugard's "Road To Mecca." Visit the Owl House created by Helen Martins with her vision into the past!! Enjoy lunch or coffee and a pancake in the picturesque little village itself, then cycle in a circular route back to the farm, about 15 kms. Once "home" relax next to the pool and then relish the taste of a delicious leg of Karoo lamb for dinner.

Day 3 Sleep in or get up early, have breakfast and depart on the "mountain drive" route around the farm. A packed lunch will be enjoyed at a picnic spot overlooking the spectacular mountains in the vicinity. After lunch continue to cycle on the "mountain drive" route, keeping a lookout for bat-eared fox, jackals, kudu, ribbok, steenbok, springbok and many other different species of animals and birds. This is a nature lovers paradise!! (distance can be at cyclists discretion).
Once home, sundowners and dinner will again be enjoyed.

Day4 Early morning cycle for about 2 hours, then breakfast and, sadly pack up to return to your home base. This tour can be extended!! Or, for those that prefer hiking, this too can be arranged
