2012

We've experienced a blessed 2011 and wish to thank all our supporters, partners and guests profusely for helping to make the year memorable in every respect. This year we hope to exceed the achievements of 2011 and bring a number of new short excursions and signature journeys to compliment our growing portfolio of tours.

In particular, be sure to early-book your place on all or one of four scheduled tours this year. As part of a new Private Collection that we are launching, 'The David Simpson Signature Journeys Portfolio' under the stewardship our new Journeys Director, David Simpson, we aim to provide a personal and in-dept experience, led by someone who at the age of 65, can still out-cycle the most ardent youngster, while sharing a wealth of knowledge as one of the continent's best well know cycle hosts and nature guides. Dave takes us into some of the most pristine and environmentally rich landsacpes, meadering the oxwagon trails of our ancestors, or following the spoor of the mountain leopard as it crossed paths with those of the Bushman of the Western Cape!

We're also excited to announce a new partnership in Blantyre, Malawi, from where we'll offer tours around Lake Malawi and Cape McClear, as well as our usual flagship 'African Cities' excursions, starting with a ride through the leafy suburbs and bustling markets of Blantyre. You can now join a Bike and Saddle City Tour in Soweto-Johannesburg, Durban, Cape Town, Victoria Falls, Blantyre and our first European product, Munich, Germany.

The picture here captures one of our Township Tour Rides (this one was taken outside of Cape Town, near Khayelitsha) - and we want to invite you this year to join us for a cultural biking experience in Africa, which will leave you with memories to last a lifetime.
