I've been riding around South Africa for 3 months now - some excellent riding.

Paved? or off-road? Lots of great riding either way.

If you start in Cape Town:
1) yeah, do the Cape Ride, ride around the Constantia wineries - 1 day),
2) Stellenbosch, Paarl, Franschhoek wine areas to the east - do a winery or two, have a nice lunch at one of the great restaurants, enjoy the scenery.
3) Route 62 - starts around Robertson, ride it to Oudtshoorn - takes you past Ron's Sex Shop east of Barryton.

If doing dirt
4) At Oudtschoorn, do the Swartburg Pass - at the top, there's a side tour to Die Hel - maybe stay the night in Prince Albert.
5) the Baviaanskloof - a river/canyon area- from Willowmore east - you come out near Port Elizabeth.

If not doing dirt
4 & 5) from Oudtschoorn, south to the Garden Route - coast road which is mainly N2 (yuck) but there's places to get off and explore. Nysna, Stormsriver, Port Jeffries, Port Elizabeth.

6) do the Wild Coast - stay at Port St. John, especially if you need a day of rest or two

7) Ride up to Underberg - but don't do the Sani Pass alone or carrying gear. 8) If you want, ride around the east of the Drakensburg Mountains, come down from the north (Bethlehem) to Lesotho (worth seeing)
9) That area had a lot of Boer War history - read up on that before you travel -
10) maybe do the Battlefields, drop down into Zululand on your way to the coast around Durban,
11) back up through Swaziland, up to the Blyde River Canyon area - great paved motorcycle roads around Pilgrims Rest, Sabie, Graskop.
12) Then back to Jo'burg and you're out of there.

South Africa is one place you can do ironbutt type riding (or rather, as much riding as you can squeeze in between sunup to sundown). Some great scenery, especially KwaZula-Natal, the Transkei (wild coast and inland), the Drakensburg.
