"The Eastern Cape Drakensberg is mountain biking mecca, and one of the best kept secrets around. We've just spent a week exploring the routes of this stunning region, and we were blown away by what exists here: amazing sandstone formations, farm tracks that go on for miles, trout-filled rivers & super-friendly locals"

Mountain bike trails abound in this farming district and we are developing routes for all abilities and levels of fitness.

Tell us what type of terrain you enjoy riding and we will help you to plan a route, choosing from the following options:

• Undulating district roads with little traffic.
• District road, but with stiffer climbs and descents (including some of our 8 mountain passes)
• Jeep/Twin track - Easy or more technical as you wish.
• Single track including steep descents for the adrenaline junkies.

Our MTB trails offer spectacular views, combining climbs, flats and descents with river crossings, gorges and open farmland.
