Cycle Tours in South Africa. Where can I cycle in SA? Cycling holidays, city tours, mountain biking and more.
South Africa is crisscrossed by roads. Some go through the city, others through the vineyards. Some roads are wide and tarred while others are mere tracks in the sand. Some take you to mountain tops while others let you explore vibrant inner-city neighbourhoods. Whichever road you choose to go exploring, the best mode of transport is by bicycle!
On a Cycle Tour, you will see the beauty of South Africa in a whole new light. Our operators offer a wide variety of tours suited for many different interests and levels of ability.
Experience the vibrant ‘Mother City’ from the saddle as you pedal your way around Cape Town’s colourful Bo Kaap quarter, circumnavigate the lower slopes of Table Mountain, race to the top of Silvermine or make new friends on a meander through the outer lying township areas.
A trip to the Cape Winelands is also best on two wheels. The lovely towns of Franschhoek, Stellenbosch and Paarl are great to explore on a Cycle Tour and you will work up an appetite for the famous gourmet cuisine with your favourite bottle of chardonnay as you trek up the vineyards.
Continue along the coast to the Overberg and spot crested cranes from your saddle - or how about a breaching southern right whales on your Cycle Tour in De Hoop Nature Reserve.
