We depart from Oudtshoorn in an airconditioned vehicle for a 25 minute drive. Take a slow drive up the Swartberg Mountain pass that will give you the time to learn about the fauna, flora, geology and history of this engineering marvel. Experience the spectacular views as you ascend to 1575 meters above sea level. Enjoy a few photographic moments and then descent on a mountain bike provided for you. A vehicle follows behind you and will provide any assistance you may need.

We stop in the quaint Karoo town to explore local life. Lunch is a culinary delight with typical Karoo food on the menu options. Browse some mohair shops for a warm gift.

Drive through a very small town with loads of history.

We return towards Oudtshoorn and pass through the gorge leading from Great Karoo to the Small Karoo. In season we visit the waterfall and perhaps have a swim in the natural rock pool.
