Some of the world’s best biking roads. Whether tarmac, gravel or pure off road, it’s all there. The timing of the project is aimed at the dry season and to give people enough time to have a great holiday and if you want to, you can be back home by Xmas. The process is simple:-
Currently you will need a Carnet de Passages – Further information on that will be available from early 2016. You drop your bike/s off with us or we can arrange collection for the specified loading. You plan your ticket to arrive and collect during the corresponding available week in Cape Town
For the return you drop off again in Cape Town when you are ready and the bikes will be shipped back when the container is full. You collect from us I the UK or we can arrange delivery. At this stage this is to register your interest and the dates and prices are estimates. This will be adjusted according to the majority requirement and our intention is to reduce the price even further which can be established once we have an idea of the number or interested people. The final prices and dates will be published early 2016. Regardless of the dates that you choose and your planned routes, there will be a central event, possibly the Horizons Unlimited event (to be confirmed) that everyone can meet up with on a specific date or weekend. MotoFreight and our colleagues Econotrans will be at the event and for those who do meet up we will treat you to a T-Bone steak on the braai (BBQ) and a beer.
