África keeps calling us back. This time we'll enjoy 12 marvellous days exploring the southernmost region of the Mother Continent.
Starting and ending in Cape Town, we will have time to visit the iconic city and its most pictured attraction : Table Mountain. The Cape Peninsula is fabulous and we will take a full day going round it: we'll see the penguin colony of Boulders Beach, and we will visit the Cape of Good Hope Natural Park where we will find remains of the Portuguese Great Naval History. We close the circle riding one of the most beautiful coastal roads in the whole World: Chapman's Peak Drive.
With such a spectacular start, expectations will certainly be very high and we made the impossible to exceed them: our route takes us through the Robertson Wine Route, the semi arid Klein Karoo, the fertile Ceres and the vineyards of the Breede River Valley. The mountains and the roads through them are breathtaking. We will ride the Bainskloof, Mitchell's, Tradouw, Robertson, Uniondale, Outeniqua, Franschhoek e Du Toits Passes. At the end we can try to elect the most spectacular but it's going to be tight. The Garden Route inspired artists and writers and we can't miss it - nor it's most picturesque road: Route 62!
Although we are going through impressive mountains, the Oceans keep showing up, at first the Atlantic, then the Indic. Among the pretty coastal landcapes we will see the Bays of Hout, Jeffreys, Arniston and False and we will visit another geographic landmark of great importance - Cape Agulhas - the southernmost tip of this huge continent.
Our fascination with Africa isn't explained solely by great landscapes and curvy roads. Undeniable is the appeal of wildlife. Therefore we'll visit Addo National Park - one of the largest in South Africa and preserving a huge diversity of fauna, flora and landscape. We will also safari the Schotia Reserve where we expect to meet the Big 5.
If you are as excited as we are with this Tour, book it now! It won't be easy to find you a spot if you leave it for much later. But there is another reason to hurry up: the new BMW R1300GS is hitting the market soon and we may be able to try it in the first edition of this Tour. The number of units will most likely be limited and we will assign them by booking order.
