Mountain Biking in Wilderness, South Africa.
In the western Cape we are privileged to have many passes through deep gorges and over mountains. The coastal terrace of the Garden Route is separated from the hinterland by a ‘wall’ of jagged mountains. Once they were deemed impenetrable, but animals like elephants and elands forged tracks through them and eventually man followed, first on foot and then in wagon. Road builders of the 19th Century did the rest. Those of us who love mountain biking now benefit from these pioneers. There are many gnarly back roads, tracks and trails traversing stunningly beautiful areas near Wilderness.
Wilderness mountain biking operators will help you choose from an overwhelming number of mountain biking options so that you get to do what you most enjoy. You can opt for long backcountry meanders over varying terrain or extremely technical single track through thickly wooded hills where encounters with baboons, bushpig and vervet monkeys are all regular occurrences.
