One of the top spots for cycling safaris in South Africa are the almost endless trails in the Dinokeng Big 5 Nature Reserve.
The region of Dinokeng is very easy to reach from Joburg (45 minutes) or Tshwane (15 minutes) on the N1 or the N4. Dinokeng combines natural, cultural and historical attractions with many game reserves and conservancies, which are being linked together.

Biking in Southern Africa

Allright, the Tour de France didn't make too many positive headlines recently, but cycling is nevertheless a very prominent sport and mode of transport among people all over the world. The German town of Münster (270,000 inhabitants) actually has more bicycles than New York City (8,1 Mio. inhabitants) and I am damn sure that you can't imagine China without people on bikes.
One of the newest attractions in South Africa are socalled cycling safaris. Cycling safaris? Yes, you can explore Game Reserves and National Parks on a bike. And the good thing about it is, that many animals don't find the bicycles threatening. That means that you will see loads of game.
