In Africa, a mountain biking vacation, an adventure cycling tour, or an extreme biking trip always involve African wildlife and beautiful African scenery.

Since moving to South Africa in 1993, I’ve been on over 80 African adventure safaris. Some have been biking trips through wild areas with zebra, giraffe and other buck. My daughter and I really enjoyed this. If you love cycling and wildlife, you will too!

I hope this guide helps you select the best biking vacation you could ever have!

Our Top 10 Mountain Biking Vacations In Africa

Here's 10 cycling adventures that are among the most unique blends of adventure, African wildlife and exquisite scenery.

  • Tokai Forest, Cape Peninsula, Western Cape,
    South Africa
    Roll up for a switchback, single-track route network that will leave you panting for more. Thrill to more than two hours of rollercoaster riding within a half-hour's drive from, Cape Town.

  • Montagu, Breede River Valley, Western Cape, South AfricaGo ballistic in the Klein Karoo on a network of tracks along the slopes of the Langeberg ranges.

  • Rhodes MTB Challenge Route, Rhodes, Eastern Cape, South Africa Take on 86km of Drakensberg jeep track. Sub-zero temperatures and evil climbs add to the fun.

  • Mike's Pass, near Cathedral Peak, KwaZulu-Natal< South Africa Test your climbing skills on this gravel road rising up towards the mountain kingdom of Lesotho.

  • Zomba Plateau, Malawi A gruelling climb until you reach the plateau - then settle into gravity's switchback rush. Enjoy a picnic at Queen's View.

    These trails require permits:

  • Harkerville Trail, near Plettenberg Bay, Western Cape, South Africa Department of Forestry and Water Affairs, Knysna A well-marked, world class trail with a rollicking single track and a few technical sections to keep you alert.

  • Augrabies National Park, near Upington, Northern Cape, South Africa Augrabies National Park
    Laid-back riding in a lunar landscape where giraffes wander and weird quiver trees flourish.

  • Richtersveld National Park, Northern Cape, South Africa Fat Trax - Richtersveld National Park Ultimate MTB escape in a harsh mountain desert resplendent with halfmense trees and rages skylines.

  • Vredefort Dome, near Parys, North West, South Africa Dome Trails - Thabela Thabeng Go downhill in the Dome Conservancy or meander along the banks of the mighty Vaal River.

  • Namib Naukluft National Park, Namibia The stuff desert dreams are made of - a lack of water and extreme heat - make a back-up vehicle a must.
