COST

R6850per person sharing.

The group size is limited to six people (six minimum) and is led by a registered guide. A vehicle will transport your luggage.

DATES

You can book your tour for any weekend between March and October 2018. Tours run over the weekend from Friday to Sunday, e.g. 2-4 March 2018.

DAY 1 – FRIDAY

The group meets at Bushveld Terrace Hotel and Guest House, just outside the Phalaborwa gate. We do a 30-40km ride in the direction of Letaba Ranch, stopping for a delicious sundowner drink on the way. We arrive back at Bushveld Terrace in time to freshen up for a lovely dinner in the restaurant, and a night in the hotel.

DAY 2 – SATURDAY

The cycle tour starts early, and your group will be accompanie­d by two armed guides. From the hotel, you’ll cycle into the Kruger – this is Big Five country! There will be regular stops on the 45km trail to look at animal tracks, watch birds and learn more about nature.

After breakfast, you’ll cycle to your exclusive campsite for the night on the banks of the Letaba River. Lunch will be prepared and you can spend the rest of the afternoon lazing next to the river. Later, have sundowners, then settle around the campfire for a delicious dinner.

DAY 3 – SUNDAY

We wake up to the sound of francolins and oher birds in the trees, and have a full breakfast next to the Letaba River before setting off on the bicycles. After a two-hour ride we’ll meet the catering team next to the Malopeni River for refreshmen­ts. Then we’ll follow a different route back to the Phalaborwa gate, where we’ll say goodbye. (Total cycling distance on Day 3: 40km)
