Why Bike and Saddle ?

An eco-active ® holiday experience where you set the pace ...

There is no better or more intense way to experience a country than to bike, hike or kayak through its varied landscapes. And with our choice of route options, you get to decide whether you want to explore at a leisurely pace, or exert yourself some more. Whether you want to try a longer route during the day’s activities, or head back early for a swim or a spa treatment, the choice is yours.

Do you appreciate the finer things in life, yet value those experiences that money can’t buy? Do you regard a traveling holiday as an extension of your active lifestyle - a journey of body, mind and soul - rather than just another ‘tour’? Do you wish to travel responsibly? Then join us …

... along unspoilt routes where you can see the best of south africa ...

With its unsurpassed natural beauty and vibrant cultures, South Africa draws more visitors than any other country in sub-Saharan Africa. From the arid Karoo with its spectacular night sky, to the Kruger National Park where the bush teems with wildlife; from the fertile valleys around Cape Town covered in fynbos (heather) and vineyards, to the dramatic Namaqualand desert transformed by spring flowers, this is a country rich in diversity.

Because our journeys (ranging from 1 to 14 days) wind along less-traveled routes, you will see vineyards, mountain passes, flowering deserts, nature reserves, country lanes, the African night sky and the hues of the Atlantic and Indian Oceans – up close and personal.

... with luxurious accommodation and pampering all the way ...

On your journey, relax in the best accommodation that money can buy or in the case of our luxury family-stays, the best hospitality the region has to offer, and enjoy a fusion of local and international cuisine, complemented by world-renowned South African wines. Whether you stay in a world-class hotel and spa with panoramic ocean views, or in a luxury tented camp deep in the African bush, your lodgings will leave a lasting impression of comfort, quality and five-star service.

... and highly experienced guides and top quality support a given!

Each member of our team is highly experienced, passionate about the outdoors, travel and people, and committed to meeting our guests’ every need. Experts are brought in to offer in-depth perspectives to place every experience in meaningful context – whether you are exploring Khoisan rock paintings, the constellations of the Southern African night skies, or indigenous food and wine.

To ensure your comfort and safety, Bike & Saddle only uses high-quality, custom-designed aluminium and carbon fibre bicycles. We also provide you with a helmet, water bottle and handlebar bags. And not only do we transport your luggage during the day, we will also gladly pick up any purchases you make along the way. You need only carry snacks, clothing and personal items for your
day’s activities.
