Experience a one-of-a-kind mountain biking adventure in the Northern Cape’s Kalahari region. This 5-day lodge-to-lodge traverse takes you across hard surfaces, including a 10 km ride over a saltpan. Cycle through the “Lost City of the Kalahari,” with its vast red dunes and remote private farms, and enjoy sundowners each evening atop dunes or overlooking saltpans. Your luggage is transported by support staff, so you can focus on the ride and scenery. The tour includes stays at comfortable lodges and one night in a luxury tented camp. This is a challenging but rewarding experience for avid cyclists.
