20% Off For Founding Riders
Self-guided adventure touring is about freedom, and it shouldn't take months to organise. We handle the bike, the route, the lodges and the backup. You handle the throttle.
The offer is for groups of two or more riders who book directly with us. Your tour can be whenever suits you. For rides after 2027, the 20% comes off that year's published rate.
7-Day Tour Per Rider
Larger groups are quoted on request. Rates include the motorcycle, accommodation, breakfast, GPS and airport transfer. Fuel and other meals are your own. The offer can't be combined with any other discount.
Three Ways To Ride The Eastern Cape
Every option is roughly 70% gravel, starts and finishes in St Francis Bay, and comes with 24/7 phone support and a standby bike.
Cape2Karoo
Ride from the coast into the Baviaanskloof wilderness, over the Swartberg Pass into the open Karoo, and home along the Garden Route. A superb mix of mountain passes and wide-open gravel.
View Cape2Karoo Details →Frontier & Mist
Head into the Eastern Cape Highlands for the high passes, like Naude's Nek, with the best views of the week and, on some mornings, riding above the clouds. Lady Grey, Rhodes and the forests of Hogsback.
View Frontier & Mist Details →The 14-Day Combined Trip
Ride Cape2Karoo and Frontier & Mist back to back without returning to St Francis Bay in between. Thirteen nights, every one in a different place, and either route can go first. The Founding Rider 20% applies instead of the usual 10%.
Claim the 14-Day Founding Rider Rate →Fully Organised. Not Guided.
Your Route, Preloaded
Every rider gets a prepared adventure motorcycle with a Garmin GPS already loaded with the route. No guide to follow, no strangers to keep up with. Ride at your own pace with your mates.
Stays Booked Ahead
Every night is in a lodge or guesthouse with secure parking and breakfast included, and each rider has their own room. We handle the logistics so you can focus on the riding.
24/7 Backup
Phone us any time. If a mechanical problem can't be sorted over the phone, we drive out with a spare bike on a trailer and either fix yours on the spot or swap it.
Good To Know
When do I have to ride?
Book by 31 December 2026 to secure the Founding Rider rate. Your tour dates can be whenever suits your group. The 20% comes off the published rates shown on this page, and for rides after 2027 it comes off that year's published rate.
Does the offer apply to a single rider?
The Founding Rider offer is for groups of two or more riders booking together. Single riders are welcome at the standard published rate.
What bike do I get?
Every rider gets a KTM 790 Adventure fitted with a rack-less soft pannier system, 60 litres across three 20-litre compartments, a Garmin GPS and a roadside kit including a tyre repair kit and compressor. The bikes are serviced by the KTM dealer on the factory schedule, and we check them again before every tour.
What is included in the price?
The motorcycle for 7 days, all accommodation with your own room, breakfast every morning, the airport transfer from Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth), the GPS route and 24/7 backup. Fuel, lunch, dinner and drinks are for your own account.
What are the rider requirements?
You must be 25 or older and have held a full motorcycle licence for at least two years. No pillions. These are gravel-heavy routes, so you should be comfortable riding a loaded adventure motorcycle on unpaved roads.
