lot and opened a new biking world for me. And trying out new
sandtracks does pay off !

Robin Cefai - Hong Kong - Custom 10 day South Africa and Namibia
a. Yes, the route increased in difficulty to allow time to get
used to the bike and keep the route entertaining.
b. yes and changing everyday in landscapes and surface.
c. Karoo area, the route between fish river canyon and river canyon
lodge, the cedeberg, Aquila's private game reserve, Craig spotting

:)

raw and some out of time!
e. pristine! condition
f. 12/10 :), 1 extra for the diversity and 1 extra for Craig whowas
fun, interresting and accomodating!!
g. yes! definately
h. definitly!! be back
I had a great time, the first hour of riding gets you away from
everything and then you keep getting further away until nothing
else than the road matters. We rode through very different landscapes
and routes. we had enough riding and enough time to rest and enjoy
the trip. a great adventure trip!
i can't think of anything that would be negative!

day after day! What a beautiful country!

the perfect guide: he is super-friendly, knows everything about
SA and is passionate about it!

farms to 5 stars lodge, every one had its own charm.
e. Motorcycles were in Very good! condition
f. 10/10 !!
g. Absolutely!
h. Definitely. I consider doing it every year !
Craig promised us "the trip of our life", and that is
exactly what we experienced! Friends, bikes, gravel roads, beautiful
landscapes, wild animals, comfortable accommodations, sunny weather:
this is happiness! good for your soul and good for your body!
Next time, we will go for 12 days of ride instead of 10!

Reviews:
David - United Kindom - 1 Day Overberg
Adventure (Standard Tour Route)
a. Yes - this was my first time at off-road riding - and after
Craig's instruction, tips and techniques - I was very confident
and comfortable with this route.
b. Yes - Very scenic route and great to discover this area - with
so many famous places so close to Cape Town. You really don't
have to travel very far to be part of the terrain that the original
explorers had to travel by wagon so many years ago.
c. The bike - XT1200Z - absolutely superb for this kind of riding.
Craig's instruction and tips, route plan, his knowledge of area.
Ostrich pie lunch in Napier. The overall route and great scenery
- and the final leg along the new coastal road which was breathtaking
in the late evening sunlight.
e. Excellent bike supplied - practically a brand new XT1200Z.
f. 11/10
g. I would definitely recommend this tour to both an experienced
and novice rider.
h. Yes - would hire and tour again - and take a longer and more
adventurous route in the future.
I did a significant amount of research before traveling to Cape
Town - and based on many factors - decided on Dualsport. This
tour is a totally different experience to maybe the usual approach
of hiring a bike from a city-based company and touring the close
proximity of Cape Town.
This tour takes you through farming countryside and off-road tracks
that many will not see. The timing and pace is comfortable and
relaxed - and flexible to enable you to ride at your own speed
and cover additional distance if you want. Including a nice leisurely
lunch in a picturesque village and interesting pub ( the ostrich
pie is recommended) - this particular trip is suitable for anyone.
The return route along the coast is stunning....see for yourself

on my one-day tour - via this youtube link: Click

Reviews:
John & Tawana - Tampa Bay, USA - 4
Day - Coastal & Mountain Adventure
a. Yes
b. Definately a beautiful route & very scenic
c. De Hoop Sand Dunes, Bonnie Dale Farm & the route along
the Coast
d. Accomodation was great, clean & very comfortable
e. Bike & Acc. were 100%
f. 9 out of 10
g. Yes
h. Definately Yes
The selection of roads were very scenic & never boring, plus
we rode at a nice pace.
The bike was perfectly set up & the Panniers worked great.
Tires were fresh & overall maintenance was tip top.
The only improvement I could suggest, pick up at the Airport &
a place to stow your extra gear. The bike pick location is quite
far from the Airport & having to arrange transport & accomodation
not knowing the area is kinda tricky.
Craig is a great guide, knowledgeble & very accomodating.
