Itinerary

  1. We depart from Oudtshoorn in an airconditioned vehicle for a 25 minute drive. Take a slow drive up the Swartberg Mountain pass that will give you the time to learn about the fauna, flora, geology and history of this engineering marvel. Experience the spectacular views as you ascend to 1575 meters above sea level. Enjoy a few photographic moments and then descent on a mountain bike provided for you. A vehicle follows behind you and will provide any assistance you may need.
