    Looking for a bike to tour Southern Africa

    When I initially started planning this trip, I was more focused on Mongolia because I thought one month is not nearly enough time in Africa. I started thinking over the past several weeks that I could probably still do an Africa trip if I trim a little off the "must see" list. Perhaps I need to...

    Looking for a bike to tour Southern Africa

    I appreciate the honest feedback. I have done quite a bit of research, but I am certainly still in the early planning stages. One reason I am considering a smaller bike is cost. I could probably rent a small bike for twice as long as a large bike for the same amount of money. However, I haven't...

    Okay thanks, that would be even better. I’ll have to email them and ask. I checked on their website and the Tiger 800 XC’s are going for ZAR 1450/day. That’s a little out of my budget for a 30 day trip. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Good Morning from the States

    Good morning all. I'm planning a month long trip coming this fall and South(ern) Africa has made the short list of possible destinations. I've joined this forum in an attempt to gain a little more intel and possibly secure a bike or hire. Thanks!
