Exclusive Edition | Mountainbikers Only

When you fly to South Africa for a mountain biking holiday, you want to be 100% sure that you ride the most beautiful trails every single day. Well, we guarantee exactly that — You gonna Ride with the Locals!

We ride between 3 and 4 hours trails per day | The program is not set in stone yet.
Depending on the group and the weather, the guides will decide which trails to ride.
From six participants onward, we provide two guides; from nine participants, three guides.
It may happen that we split the group at some days depending on fitness and skills level.
It is important that you have sufficient mountain biking experience.
We follow the social riding principle — not performance-based… it’s a holiday ;-)
If there is a rider in the group who is significantly slower, we can ask that person to rent an e-MTB.
On several days we offer an optional activity you can sign up for.
The optional activities will be shared in the WhatsApp group:
1. Township Experience (70 euro pp)
2. Ziplining (60 euro pp)
3. Shooting Range Lourensford (90 euro pp)

Duration: 10 days | 8 nights | 8 trail days

My name is André and under the name 'MTB Challenge' I create mountain bike content.
In Nederland heb ik mezelf de uitdaging gegeven om alle officiële mountainbikeroutes te rijden en te filmen. Daarnaast ben ik regelmatig in het buitenland te vinden om te ontdekken wat voor mooie plekken er zijn om te mountainbiken en dit deel ik via mijn social media.

That's how I ended up at South Africa MTB Experience. Together with the crew, I captured my entire experience on film in the Dutch autumn of 2024 (South African spring) and it was an unforgettable journey! Check out my YouTube channel here

The main question in the videos is: 'Why would you go all the way to South Africa to go mountain biking?'

And although I recommend you to watch the videos for an impression, I can already tell you that it is more than a mountain bike trip. You are really in another world, where it smells different, where the colors are brighter and the vegetation more diverse. In addition, there is also sufficient attention for culture and culinary highlights.

And the mountain biking… Every day is different and the variety of trails is great, from cross-country to rough enduro trails! The total package is great and you just have to experience it once! That's why I decided to go again with MTB-Challenge! Are you interested and do you want to come along? Send me a message and we'll be in touch.
