Stellenbosch to Cape Agulhas

South Africa, 259km

Riding in South Africa needs little introduction – the scenery, roads and wildlife are all without parallel anywhere else in the world.

This spectacular route starts out in the beautiful town of Stellenbosch then heads through Franschhoek and out over the amazing Franschhoek Pass before heading down and across Theewaterskloof dam and on to pretty coastal towns like Hermanus, before arriving at Cape Agulhas, the southernmost tip of Africa. There are many wildlife viewing spots within easy riding distance from here.

Beware: baboons
Franschhoek Pass is 13km of spectacular riding along twisting roads – look out for baboons along the way!

By the water
Theewaterskloof Dam is a beautiful sight to ride past, with drowned trees, mountains and rocks making it a surreal sight. There are numerous nature reserves around the dam if you choose to take a break here.
