SA'S HIGH FIVE
SA'S HIGH FIVE
SA’s High Five
SA’s High Five is not merely a ride but rather a challenge, to take on the 5 highest passes in South Africa.
The idea originated a couple of years ago when on holiday in Tiffindell, I decided to ride to the top of Ben MacDhui 3001 metres high and the highest pass in South Africa, of course this was impossible as there was no road or even footpath to the top so I went as far as possible which was a couple of meters from the top. It was at this time the idea of the highest passes came to mind and after discussion with a good friend and owner of Tiffindell, the High Five became a reality, thus work began on completing a track to the highest point.
SA’s High Five should not be taken lightly and thus rather a challenge than a ride, to complete this, one will need a good riding ability, a sense of adventure and minimum intermediate tyres (preferably knobblies).
Price: R6150.00 per person including the ride, accommodation and meals.

CIRCUMNAVIGATION KATSE DAM
CIRCUMNAVIGATION KATSE DAM
Circumnavigation Katse Dam
The Katse ride is an exciting tar and gravel round trip. The first 120kms is tar with lots of twists and turns taking you from an altitude of 1500 metres to over 3200 metres above sea level. What goes up must go down and we start our steep descent to the town of Lejone, a couple of more twists and turns along the western side of the dam eventually brings us to our turn off onto gravel.
After lunch and a quick fuel stop for those that need, we proceed along the eastern shores of the dam, once again taking in the magnificent views. Finally we reach our overnight destination.
The next morning we head out onto the famous Kao mine road. The first 30kms can be quite technical as it is not as well maintained as the second half, however this offers some amazing riding with ascents descents, some rocky sections and water crossings. Finally we reach the tar road again, this is the highest road in Southern Africa at 3275 metres.
By now we should be ready for lunch at the famous Afriski Resort found at the top of Moteng pass.
For this ride, one will need a good riding ability, a sense of adventure and minimum intermediate tyres (preferably knobblies).
Price: R4490.00 per person including the ride, accommodation and meals.

MONANTSA RIDE LESOTHO
MONANTSA RIDE - LESOTHO
Mononatsa Ride
The ride, which is aptly named Monantsa, due to the border crossing through which one leaves the Kingdom. The ride starts at Caledenspoort border post and after a short tar section we turn off onto dirt, here we stop to drop tyre pressures slightly and get everyone focused on the road ahead. The road meanders down towards the Caledon river, the border between Lesotho and South Africa, we follow the Caledon for a while stopping for a rest next to the river, where one can observe part of the water tunnel scheme. From here you can throw a stone into South Africa. Leaving this beautiful spot we pass open fields where if luck is on our side we have the opportunity of spotting the red bald Ibis which frequent the area. From here on out the ride starts getting a little more interesting as we climb up into the mountains leaving the plains behind. Finally after approximately 60kms you reach the Lesotho border post at Monantsa, once cleared you climb up probably one of the steepest passes you will ever have ridden, fortunately this is a paved road, at the top you will find the South African border post.
Once cleared you travel down the other side and on reaching the bottom we turn off and enter Golden Gate, this is really a highlight and not seen or done by many, we travel through Golden Gate descending down the mountains and plains generally being lucky enough to observe herds of different Antelope and Wildebeest crossing your path.
Finally arriving on the paved road taking you back through the mountains of Golden Gate, it is here we face the option of either returning to Clarens, for a well-deserved lunch.
Price: R2490.00 per person including the ride, accommodation and meals.
