FRONT RIDERS LOG

Once leaving Durban it doesn’t take long before the group gets used to each other and their bikes. After a couple of hours we try some dirt roads out, after which riding as a team gets easy and enjoyable.

So long as the group follows instructions and takes it easy with the speed then this ride is a breeze. Day three is the hardest day riding but by this stage everyones into the tour and we handle it with little difficulty or hard saddle butt discomfort.

With the mixture of events of this tour I definately put my name down to ride it as many time a year as I can, but unfortunately I’ve got to give the other guides a chance as well.

Day 1 Hluhluwe (South Africa)
Departing Durban we saddle north along the coast getting acquainted with our machines on a scenic tar route to Empangeni for our first break. From here we take our bikes through tall scenic forests, giving us the opportunity to learn to master the dirt roads, on our way to Hluhluwe. After settling into our lodgings we head out to the Game Park where we enjoy an afternoon viewing the Big 5, returning to the lodge for sundowners. (D)

Day 2 Sodwana Bay (South Africa)
After an energy breakfast we take off on some of the most awesome dirt roads including some unmapped sections through rural Zulu villages and the Mkuzi Pans, riding into Sodwana Bay in the early afternoon. Here you have the opportunity to ride some sand tracks, hire a quad bike, take a flip in a microlight or just relax and enjoy the ocean at our seaside resort. (B,D)

Day 3 Shakaland (South Africa)
With packed lunches, leaving the wild coast behind us, we set out for a hard days riding through the heart of Zululand. Turning dust we pass Jozini Dam, then inland around the Hluhluwe National Park crossing the great White Mfolozi River through Umunywana, a small trading town. After this iron butt ride, we arrive at Shakaland where we spend the evening relaxing around an inviting pool. (B,D)

Day 4 Durban (South Africa)
This morning you have the option to do a cultural tour of Shakaland before we once again stir the dust and cut a trail via some of the highest mountains in Zululand looking over the almighty Tugela River. After some breathtaking views and excellent riding we head south down to the coast, riding the mean machines into the late Durban sunset where our ride ends. (B)
