ultimate african cycling safari

What are the need-to-knows before cycling in South Africa?

South Africa is a rewarding destination for cyclists, but a few local considerations will help you get the most from your trip.

The Cape's weather can change quickly, particularly around Table Mountain and the Cape Peninsula, so it's important to be prepared for sunshine, cool temperatures and occasional coastal winds—all within the same ride.

Road conditions throughout the Western Cape are generally excellent, and motorists are accustomed to sharing the road with cyclists, especially around Cape Town and the Winelands. Our fully supported tours include experienced local guides, a support vehicle and carefully planned routes that prioritise rider safety while showcasing the country's most spectacular scenery.

One of the great advantages of travelling with Après Vélo is having knowledgeable local partners who know the roads, cafés, wineries and hidden gems that most visitors would never discover on their own.
