About Mountain Biking Safari at Nkomazi
This Thing to Do no longer exists - This page is for reference purposes only
The Nkomazi Game Reserve in Mpumalanga offers unrivalled mountain biking opportunities, thanks to its gorgeous countryside and ideal terrain. There are easy routes for those that don’t have the chance to get on a bike too often, as well as more challenging ones for visitors that want to work up a sweat. This variety means that everyone – the young and the not-so-young – can jump in the saddle and experience the wonders of Nkomazi at a fantastic and comfortable pace. The only pre-requisites are a sense of adventure and a love for the bush.
The Nkomazi Game Reserve has off-road bicycles, helmets and water bottles available for the guests that want to head into the bush for one of these treks. As one of these guests, you will be transported in a vehicle to the launch site, from where you can begin your cycle. Or, you can start cycling from the lodge and head into the mountains, if you are feeling more energetic.
The trips are guided, which means that you will have an experienced leader on hand to share their knowledge about the local fauna and flora, and steer you in the right direction in terms of breath-taking views. As you wind your way through the variety of biomes and ever-changing landscapes, you will be making lifelong memories of your time in South Africa. These tours also promise incredible photo opportunities. Look out for the wonderful array of bird species above you, and the intriguing assortment of bugs around you.
These cycle tours are only available to riders that are 16 years or older. Cycling in the reserve is strictly up to the discretion and under the direction of the guide or lodge management staff.
