THE CAPE, WINE AND SAFARI EXPERIENCE

Three landscapes. Three experiences. One unforgettable ride.

This is a journey that doesn’t follow a single path — it evolves.

From the dramatic coastlines of Cape Town to the vineyard-lined roads of Stellenbosch, and deep into a private wildlife game reserve where the rules of the ride are rewritten, this is a cycling experience shaped by contrast.

You’ll ride some of the most iconic roads in the world, unwind in one of its great wine regions, and experience the rare thrill of exploring African bush by bike amidst the Big 5.

Balanced with exceptional food, premium stays, and curated off-bike moments, this is more than a tour — it’s a fully immersive African experience, designed for riders and non-riders alike.

This is the ultimate African Cycling Safari.

TOUR OVERVIEW

This is not just a cycling tour — it’s a journey through three of Africa’s most iconic experiences.

From the raw coastal beauty of Cape Town to the rolling vineyards of Stellenbosch, finishing deep in a private wildlife game reserve — this is a ride that constantly evolves.

We’ve designed this tour for those who want more than just time in the saddle. It’s about contrast, energy, challenge & reward.

World-class riding balanced with exceptional food, wine, culture, and a safari experience that very few get to encounter by bike.

Cape Town — voted the Best City in the World (Time Out, 2025) — sets the tone with dramatic coastlines and panoramic views.

The Cape Winelands, one of the world's best wine regions renowned for its breathtaking landscapes and award-winning wines, deliver a slower rhythm — vineyard trails, mountain passes, and long lunches.

And then… the shift.

A private safari experience with luxurious accommodation in the Greater Kruger region — where the riding becomes something truly unique, tracking through African bush in search of the Big 5.

This is a bucket list journey. One that blends the ultimate adventure, luxury, and something a little unexpected — curated the Après Vélo way.

EXPERIENCE THE RIDE OF A LIFETIME – THE ULTIMATE LUXURY AFRICAN ADVENTURE.

From Cape Town’s iconic coastlines to the rugged gravel of the Winelands and the wild thrill of biking alongside Africa’s Big 5 — this is more than a journey; it’s the ultimate cycling safari - WHERE LUXURY MEETS ADVENTURE.
