| New: MTB tour from Table Mountain to Addo Elephant National Park (13 days) 10-15 guests |
This
challenging mountain bike trip takes us along the Jeep tracks and single
trails on the mountains of the Cape Peninsula through the winelands of
the Western Cape. We bike on trails through the diverse Cape Folded Mountains
which are partly used by the increasing popular Cape Epic MTB race. Indigenous
forests, succulent plants, erica and protea form a spectacular array of
vegetation, one of the criteria why Baviaanskloof became a world heritage
site. At Addo National Park we discover the “Big 5”. We are
accommodated in handpicked guest houses, hotels and chalets.

| New: Cycling to the highlights of Malawi (15 days) 6 - 15 guests |
Malawi
is rightly referred to as the warm heart of Africa – and that refers
not only to the sunny climate, but also to the hospitality of its inhabitants.
Lake Malawi, with a water temperature of 28 °C, is a paradise for
diving, kayaking and angling. Other highlights are the Viphya Plateau
with its impressive granite mountains, the Nykia National Park with its
African animal kingdom, the 3000 m high Mulanje Mountains and the beautiful
green Zomba Plateau. At the end we travel by boat, in open Landrovers
and by foot through the Liwonde National Park. We spend two nights at
most of the accommodation, which saves transfer time and ensures a relaxing
trip. All meals are also included in the tour.
