General Information

Two tours, one kloof

Both adventures take you deep into the famous Baviaanskloof on street-legal Honda CRF 230s, an easy-to-ride bike with a low seat height that is perfectly suited for this type of adventure. We spend most of the time on gravel roads, and we provide a backup vehicle that carries all your clothes, spare bike, and fuel.

Choose the 2-day Baviaans Adventure for intermediate riders, or step it up with 3 days on the Rust en Vrede 4×4 track.

Both packages require a minimum of eight (8) people. To secure accommodation and bikes, we would need a 25% deposit. Packages exclude drinks, gratuities, telephone calls, sundries and flights.

We all meet at the Ripple Hill Hotel in Patensie at 08:00 for coffee and a briefing. From Patensie, we ride into the Baviaans through Kondoma Gate, over Bergplaas, and, after about 70 km, arrive at Zandvlakte Lodge.

The lodge is spectacular, and Piet, our host, will prepare a traditional braai with plenty of cold beers.

Day2
Reverse route · Exit the kloof

The Climb

  1. The Bergplaas climbStay on the concrete strips

This is mostly the reverse route that we did on Day 1 as we exit the Baviaanskloof. The climb out of Bergplaas is probably the most difficult, but if you stay on the concrete strips, all will be fine. If all goes well, we arrive back at the Ripple Hill Hotel for lunch, where we can shower before heading home.
