Top 5 Day Adventure Ride Cape Town
With another fantastic 5 days private tour planned of the Cederberg and Karoo, I picked up Allan at his hotel and we headed to Honda Canal Walk to start our ride. As I wheeled one of the bikes out of the showroom, I couldn’t believe my eyes, a flat rear wheel! Could be worse I […]
The Motorcycle Room Knysna
Knysna has always been known as South Africa’s favourite holiday town due to the natural beauty of the area, but lately it has also gained a reputation as being a mecca for classic car collectors and motorsport, with the Simola Hill Climb being a highlight for many fans. The fantastic dirt and paved roads also […]
The Best Way for Australians to Tour South Africa
Africa Twin Adventures recently had the pleasure of hosting a group of Australians in South Africa, and we put together a custom tour that slotted between their other excursions, such as a trip to the Kruger National Wildlife Park. As this was their first trip to South Africa, the intention was to showcase the […]
The best place to improve your sand riding – Namibia!
Being based in Cape Town South Africa, we are blessed with probably the best and most scenic dirt roads for adventure riding in the world, but we are also fortunate to be situated close to Namibia, a country that offers a completely different type of riding. While in South Africa you can do hundreds […]
The Best Motorcycle Adventure – Day 15 Botswana
It’s great having friends with contacts, and one of our group managed to organise a flight over the Delta for us in a caravan plane. Seeing the plains of the delta and the wild animals from above, gives you a much better perspective of the vastness of the area, and was a fantastic treat. After […]
The Best Motorcycle Adventure – Day 13 Botswana
According to the guide at the Lodge the alternate off road section of 90km we had chosen had been driven in a sedan car by a friend of his. When we however got to the start of the road and it was a jeep track, I immediately had my doubts. There is always something special […]
The Best Motorcycle Adventure – Day 14 Botswana
An all tarred road day of 354km, but interesting scenery as we headed west towards Maun. The roads twisted and turned and were not in great condition, and animals crossing the road made sure we paid attention. When we arrived at the only filling station on our route we were told that the tanks were […]
The Best Motorcycle Adventure – Day 12 Botswana
With 211 km of tarred roads to Nata, it was a leisurely start to the day after a late breakfast. While it is always tempting to ride a bit faster on the good roads in Botswana, animals are always an issue, so we kept things tidy and arrived at Nata Lodge in the early afternoon. […]
The Best Motorcycle Adventure – Day 11 Zambia / Botswana
Only 172km to cover, but the dreaded border crossing lay ahead, so we didn’t waste too much time in the morning. The roads to the border at Kazungula were in reasonable condition, however the 2km long row of trucks before you even get to the border is never a good sign. After making our way […]
The Best Motorcycle Adventure – Day 10 Zambia
With the back-up crew heading into town to source a spare wheel, the rest of us headed out to the Victoria Falls. I am not easily impressed with the usual tourist sightseeing destinations, but this was definitely worth the visit. The volume of water cascading over the falls is simply astounding, and the noise and […]
