Motorcycle Touring South AfricaMotorcycle Touring South AfricaThe beautifully diverse South Africa must be one of the planets best kept secrets… but no longer. Since South Africa emerged from international isolation the country has become one of the world’s most sought after tourism destinations. Motorcyclists have steadily discovered the amazing land in the South of Africa.

Much of the country is blessed with wonderful summers and balmy dry winters. During summer the rainfall is predictable and isolated while in winter almost non-existent, which is ideal for motorcycling throughout the year. The quality of the asphalt is on a par or in many cases surpasses that found in Europe, the US and other developed countries on the planet.
