Namakwa Flower Mountain Biking Tours

Namakwa Flower Mountain Biking Tours

This 5 day guided cycle tour has been developed so you can cycle on beautiful jeep tracks and small gravel roads in the Namakwa (Namaqualand), Northern Cape, during flower season and get spoiled each night with great accommodation and great food.

This is not a race, but a tour, although you must be able to cycle at least 40km per day and at an average of 15km/hr. E-Bikes are welcome. We advise anybody above 65 to rather use an E Bike to enjoy the tour. You will cycle for 3 days and stay for 4 nights in Namakwa during the Flower Season which is August and September.

Each day you will cycle at a different venue, and you will cycle where the best flowers are at that moment. Trisport will cycle with you to ensure you see the best of Namakwa flowers.
