Trip Description

Simba is the tour for riders who've learned that the finest roads, like the finest wine, are meant to be savored, not raced. Every kilometer is on smooth, flowing tarmac with no compromises — Africa Moto Tours carrying you across some of the most beautiful roads in the Western Cape: the cliffside curves of Chapman's Peak Drive, the forested bends of Bainskloof Pass, the coastal sweep of Clarence Drive, the legendary Route 62, and the mountain views of Outeniqua Pass. This is a journey meticulously built for pure riding pleasure, weaving together Cape Town's dramatic coastline, the lush beauty of the Garden Route, and the sun-soaked charm of the Klein Karoo into one seamless ride. Along the way, trade your helmet for binoculars at Aquila Private Game Reserve, where lions, elephants, and rhino roam free on a Big Five safari unlike anything you've experienced from the saddle. Your nights unfold in South Africa's finest boutique lodges, your days filled with local culture, exceptional cuisine, and wine that rivals the best in the world. Simba isn't about how hard you push yourself — it's about how deeply you let the journey in. This is African elegance on two wheels.
