Outland Escape Cycle Tours
The finest crafted mountain bike experiences in Southern Africa’s most spectacular and remote wilderness
Southern Africa boasts the world’s most exquisite destinations – now it’s time for you to really see it. Bicycle touring puts the brakes on our human urge to do everything faster. By slowing down the pace of exploration, riders are actually able to soak up the unique and remote wonder of the paths less travelled.
Our mission is to craft eternal memories of our diverse wilderness, both on and off the bike. We don’t believe in choosing between relishing the journey or the destination; with Outland Escape Cycle Tours, you can have it all and then some.
We take riding very seriously, for a bunch of guys in lycra shorts and funny helmets. We’ve got twelve years of experience in the cycling industry, a third of which has been dedicated to cycle tour operations. That means that any bumps along the road have already been smoothed over because it’s a road we plan to travel for many years to come.

With the Koro Island Camp as our base, and the Limpopo River our companion, the expansive Northern Tuli Game Reserve is very much ours to explore. Jeep tracks and game trails lead the way across hilly terrain, while mopane thickets open up just enough to allow for real “off-road” riding.
Tuli is known as land of giants, with signs of elephant activity all around us. The waterholes located away from the river draw in the herds throughout the dry season to offer close up sightings of these magnificent creatures in their natural, untouched habitats. But it’s not just the elephants who rule here – the elusive brown hyena freely roam these plains, while large prides of lion dominate at night. If timed right, we could hear these big cats stirring as they begin their nocturnal movements during one of our evening game drive sundowners.
For those feeling extra adventurous, a night spent under the stars at our exclusive overnight site brings you even closer to the sights and sounds of this incredible wilderness.

Ride into a thick and lush wildflower carpet of every colour
For at least nine months of every year Namaqualand is a dry and barren semi-desert area on the West Coast of Africa. However, between July and October the life-giving rains transform the ordinarily arid landscape into a thick and lush wildflower carpet of every colour.
In terms of natural selection, the flowers of Namaqualand have been chosen for their ability to survive and multiply in a somewhat hostile environment.
Come join us and experience this wonder on the natural environment.

The magnificent Waterberg Biosphere Reserve in Limpopo is a UNESCO site within South Africa’s savanna bushveld that we love exploring by bike.
Flowing single track by day, and the sound of lions and hyenas at night offers the adventurous rider a true taste of riding in Africa.
As the tour continues, our next stops include some of the most spectacular Big 5 reserves in South Africa. Riding among these incredible animals, lead by experienced guides makes for a ultimate African adventure that is hard to explain to those not seeing it first hand.
