Ride for Change – Wild Coast, South Africa

The South African Wild Coast has instilled great memories over the last 20 years with Enduro Africa through our Ride 4 Change events. Our charity,  Touch Africa has  been the proud beneficiary of these charity Bike Rides. Monies raised on these events has allowed us to build 50 container libraries, 4 creches and assist us in making a massive difference to these impoverished communities.

The 7-day ride on the trusty Hondas will expose you to Dirt Bike Heaven and we will will use the hotels from Trennerys to Hole in the Wall, and stay 2 nights at most of the hotels. It’s your choice if you want to ride every day or whether you want to chill in the bar or at the beach.

Out of each Ride Fee, we will be donating 500 Pounds to our charity Touch Africa. The charity’s focus is ECD (Early Childhood Development) and these funds will be used to build a new creche for 50 kids, and implement a feeding scheme for a 12-month period.

The Bikes

We make use of the trusty Honda CRF 230s. For many reasons, these are just the perfect bikes.

With a lower-than-most seat height, these bikes make it manageable for all riders to get their feet onto the ground. The 4-stroke engines deliver stable power and are not too snappy, making for an armchair-type riding style.

The bikes are air-cooled and all-electric start, meaning over heating is quite hard and you never need to worry about kick starting your bike/

 Ride 4 Change Itinerary | 1 – 8 November 2026

After a pleasant overnight flight, you will arrive at East London Airport, where an air-conditioned shuttle bus, loaded with ice-cold beers, will transport you to the beautiful Trennerys Hotel. Upon arrival, you will be shown to your rooms, and an introduction to your bikes will be scheduled for the early afternoon. After dinner the kit handout and an intro to the next 7 days.

     

A great days riding with loads of options from Mild to Wild as make our way to the Kob Inn Beach Resort. We embrace the magnificent Wild Coast, with stopovers at Wavecrest and Mazeppa Bay Hotel. Our last challenge for the day is the mighty Gorge and crossing the Qora River. Once again we can choose the easy option and load the bikes onto the ferry.

     

Its a rest day as we recover from the first day’s riding. We will pop into the Step by Step creche and give some toys to the kids. A beach walk to Mazeppa, a swim in the warm Indian ocean, beers on the rocks or an afternoon siesta… its your holiday —The choice is yours!

We head along the coast, riding on rolling grass hills over 3 rivers namely the Jujura. Ngadla and Shixini until we reach the quaint village of Beecham Woods. We the head inland crossing two mighty rivers namely the Nqabara and Mbashe, which is an easy 30km gravel road ride. We have a packed lunch at the Mbashee and start weaving our way to the coast passing through the Dwesa nature reserve and finishing this long day at the quaint Haven Hotel

Once again, this is your day, and whether you feel up to a ride or not, is your call. It is Dirt Bike Heaven as we hug the rolling green hills all the way to the famous Hole in the Wall hotel. The views will blow you away.

We grab a quick lunch on  the cliffs of White Clay, or enjoy a beer overlooking the famous Hole-in-the-Wall. We still need to get home to The Haven Hotel and this could be the day we need our bike lights. It’s guaranteed to be an adventure with loads of memories.

This day covers a long distance, but it’s short in terms of time spent in the saddle. We’ll be riding to the town of Wiollowvale to refuel. From there, we’ll continue through Cats Pass onto the Mazeppa Bay Road and head down to the coast via the Manubi State Forest. Finally, we’ll arrive at another gem along the Wild Coast, namely the Wavecrest Hotel and Spa. We should reach our destination by lunchtime, providing everyone with the opportunity to relax in the jacuzzi on the deck during the afternoon.
