Quad-bike & scrambler trails
Bring your
own bikes for rides of a lifetime – groups & families are most welcome.
The spectacular mountainous terrain of the Southern
Drakensberg is the perfect setting for awesome guided trails that provide fun
for the whole family. As we border on the former Transkei, we have literally
hundreds of kilometres of unhindered riding terrain.
No request is too unreasonable
-
we've
seen it & done it all!
Steep mountain tracks (up to 2750m) and challenging
river crossings test your technical riding skills.
Trails are guided and range from easy to difficult & technically challenging.
Along the way there is always time to admire the breath-taking views, cool off
in the mountain streams and roost each other in the muddy riverbed!
Chris
assesses your ability and tailors the trail accordingly.
Chris has lived his life in the area and is an
experienced enduro rider - The Roof being one of his
favourite races. He loves the technical challenges of the mountains but caters
his trails to suit every need. Fun loving & knowledgeable, Chris makes the most
of your trail experience, taking you to the best places in the area. Interaction
with the locals is his specialty, adding value to your trail - whether it is
lunch at a local shebeen or up at Tiffindell, you experience life as we live it.
Tskholo Mojaki has grown up on the farm with Chris.
He is young, enthusiastic & extremely knowledgeable of the area. He converses in
English, Xhosa & Sesotho. His specialty is nature & Tskholo has completed his
tour-guiding course as a site guide. His knowledge of the wildflowers, birds &
animals is very broad and he especially enjoys sharing his cultural background
with you on every trip you take together.
The area is
becoming well known for excellent riding - whether training for
The Roof, or enjoying a fun day with the family.
Chris has guided riding greats such as Giovanni Sala (7 times World Enduro
Champion), Alfie Cox (9 times Roof of Africa
Champion), Daryl Curtis & Riaan van Niekerk. We hosted the first ever KTM Rallye
Raid in October 2007 here, which Chris helped Red Cherry Adventures organise.
Chris was the route co-ordinator and set out the routes, covering hundreds of
kilometres in the Barkly East, Rhodes, Maclear & Lady Grey districts.
