BUDGET BACKPACKER 5 DAY MOTORCYCLE TOUR
The absolute beauty of this budget backpacker motorcycle tour is that whilst having comfortable, immaculate, clean and private accommodation – you get to choose your meals, so whether you feel like cereal or a full on bacon and eggs English breakfast or a hamburger or a three course culinary delight for supper – the choice is yours – for whatever suits your pocket AND your palate for the day!!
Day One ……. |
| On leaving Cape Town – we hug the amazingly scenic Western Cape Coastline – with the spectacular mountains towering above you and the sparkling Atlantic below you – what a great start to a very diverse 5 day Adventure tour! |
 |
 |
Our first overnight is Barrydale – this little village lies nestled at the foot of the beautiful Langeberge in the heart of the Tradouw Valley. |
| Day Two ……… |
Through to the middle of Nowhere – somewhere in the Little Karoo – up, up, up and over the Rooiberg pass – the view at the summit is breathtaking –like being on top of the world! |
 |
 |
Through Calitzdorp and into Oudtshoorn, the Ostrich Feather Capital of the world, and the Cango Caves – one of the Worlds greatest Natural wonders! |
Day Three...... |
The Cango Caves is an underground natural extravaganza! We visit here before going through the Spectacular Swartberg Pass, one of South Africa’s most scenic Passes. |
 |
 |
Down through Meiringspoort, a ride through this Poort shows the wonders of nature – the folds of the Table Mountain’s Sandstone Strata tower above the road constantly changing colour as you move through sunlight and shade.
Down into Prince Alfreds Pass, this challenging, invigorating, exceptionally beautiful pass! Stopping every now and again to savour the silence and beauty of the area ….. |
And finally after a very mentally and physically interesting day, we welcome Knysna, the town that grew as a result of its beauty …..home to the awesome, world famous Knysna Lagoon. |
 |
Day Four...... |

|
Today we eat up the km’s along the N2 - a welcome change after the challenging Passes of the day before – up to the R62 – and on into Montague – one of the most picturesque towns in the Western Cape, if not South Africa! This according to a panel of judges who awarded it the village of the year 2002. |
Day Five ...... |
Sadly …… our last leg back home – going through the towns of Robertson and Worcester – the largest town in the Breede Valley - down on the R43 and up through the awesome Franschhoek Pass into the quaint village of Franschhoek, where we spend some time, before heading down Hellshoogte back into Cape Town …………. |
