Perfect physical activity - On a business trip and had half a day free before leaving and didn’t want to start the day with a sightseeing sitting several hours in a car and ending it with sitting on a 12 hour flight, hence I sought after a physical activity. I had no experience with mountain biking from before, but Shane (a nice guy by the way) adapted the pace and difficulty, so it suited me perfectly. A South-African winter morning in July was ideal for biking too. Dry and not too warm biking on trails in the wood. The pickup at the hotel was also timely. Next time in South Africa I do hope I have more time upon arrival or when leaving. If so, I’ll go for a full day mountain bike tour with Shane.

One more unforgettable day in South Africa - Traveling by bike through the forest with Shane was an incredible adventure. The forests of South Africa are full of scenic landscapes, and the soft dirt trails are perfect for biking. Shane proved to be an excellent companion – he had a good sense of direction and kept our spirits high throughout the journey. One of the most memorable moments was the amazing feeling of unity with nature when we stopped to enjoy the silence of the forest and the birdsong. Thank you, Shane for an incredible Journey!!!

Active off-road experience - I liked the forestrated landscape a lot! The route had two faces - first part through denser forest, and second part took us through the landscapes with wider views and brought us closer to the river. The single track is varied, it was an active experience for the whole body. Shane is a great guide that can adjust the activity to one's fitness, and with many experiences and insights into local life and culture - we had great discussions along the way!
