This trip through South Africa and Swaziland offers an unforgettable Adventure for motorcyclists who wish to incorporate Africa into their globe-riding plans. This 17-day Adventure could have been named “Best of South Africa”; we've incorporated more of South Africa's highlights into our Southern Cross Adventure than you'll find in any other South African tour. Highlights which are included as standard features of this trip include:

• Upscale accommodations, starting with two nights in Cape Town at the Victoria & Alfred Hotel on the Pierhead at the Waterfront. The two night stay provides plenty of time to explore the stunning riding on the Cape Peninsula, including Chapmans Peak Drive - one of the world's "top ten" scenic routes.
• Overnight accommodations in an upscale but rustic lodge at the southernmost point of the African continent - where the Atlantic and Indian Oceans meet. Each of the lodge's eight rooms features a private balcony overlooking the ocean.
• Luxury accommodations in a game lodge in South Africa's Klein Karoo, providing opportunities to see elephant, rhino, hippo, giraffe, zebra, bufffalo and antelope during our game drives.
• A visit to a Zulu Community in Kwa-Zulu Natal province
• An overnight stay in Swaziland, including admittance to a Swazi cultural event
• An all day safari by 4x4 in Kruger National Park - one of the continent's largest and most popular areas for viewing African wildlife, including lion, leopard, elephant, rhino, buffalo, hippo, and a wide variety of antelope.
• A sunrise hot air balloon flight over the big game areas adjoining Kruger National Park
• A trip through South Africa's Mpumalanga Province - the "cultural heartland" of South Africa and the home of the Panorama Route - one of South Africa's most popular motorcycling destinations.

Our Southern Cross Adventure includes plenty of the country's most popular motorcycling roads, coupled with an opportunity to truly enjoy the wildlife and cultural aspects of this fascinating area of the world.

Although our route is totally paved and ideal for two-up riding, this tour offers exciting off-pavemenet alternate routes as well. Off-pavement opportunities include South Africa's Swartberg Pass, Prince Alfred Pass, Montague Pass, Swaziland's Saddleback Pass, and many others.
