Cape Karoo Adventure
Nine days of South Africa's finest tar — Cape Peninsula, Route 62 and the wide-open Karoo, on a BMW GS.
O cestě
A premium guided BMW GS tour through the most spectacular corners of the Western and Eastern Cape — from the cliffs of the Cape Peninsula to the endless horizons of the Karoo. You ride, we handle everything else: a BMW-certified guide leads the way, a support van carries your luggage, and your nights are spent in hand-picked boutique and 4-star stays.
The route is built around legendary roads — Chapman's Peak Drive, Clarence Drive along the Whale Coast, Route 62, the Tradouw and Meiringspoort passes, and the Franschhoek Pass — strung together at a relaxed pace with a genuine rest day in Oudtshoorn.
It's the feeling of a high-end European BMW tour, in a destination that delivers more for less: the same premium machines and guiding, with South Africa's lower accommodation and operating costs. Easy tar roads throughout make it ideal for two-up riding and first-time visitors.
