South Africa Easter 2017 1st to 15th April anyone interested?
 

Morning All and a belated HNY,

I am going to do 2 weeks in South Africa from the 1st to 15th April 2017. Got my flight a few days ago flying LHR to Johannesburg for £505. I am starting to put together some idea as to where to go and what to see. The idea is to fly out to Johannesburg, hire small trail bikes and explore. I would prefer, whenever possible, to stay in guest houses or hostels (not cause I am cheap but to have a different experience).

If there is anybody interested in joining me on this trip get in touch. An ideal group would be 3 or 4 riders in total.

Also if you have any contacts or recommendations or thing to see/ride/experience I would be interested to hear them.

A little about myself, for those that do not know me. I am a 55 year teacher so I do not have any flexibility with my dates; I have done several 5 week trips The Stans twice, Mongolia, TAT, Morocco and Vietnam. Relaxed and self-sufficient. I am not an enduro god but a steady trial rider happy to do 8 to 10 hours a day riding.

Cheers Nick

South Africa
 

Unfortunately I can't join you. However, I just spent 3 1/2 weeks riding around South Africa in December. If you want to rent 650cc dual sport bikes, contact Miguel at De Ark. https://www.facebook.com/groups/247250342358326/. He can arrange anything you might need for your whole trip.

Food and lodging are so affordably priced for those of us coming from Western countries. Guesthouses and B&Bs are the way to go, especially on a two week trip.
