Great experience!! - My mom and I had a great time with our guide, Samantha! She was so fun and knowledgeable about the animals, the landscape, and the country of South Africa. We were able to get very close to the giraffes and wildebeests and still felt safe. Big thanks to Samantha and Shane for a great morning in a beautiful place!

Amazing cycling experience just outside of Joburg - Shane is a fantastic guide. He is able to tailor the tour to your needs. Bikes and equipment were provided and customised to my height. Shane is incredibly knowledgeable about the area, cycling, the country and an all round amazing person to spend the day with. I'll definitely book again!

Fantastic bike trip in a nice game serve - highly recommendable! - We spent around 3 hours on fine trails inside the reserve with great views of a ton of different animals, e.g. zebra, giraffe and sable antelope. The bikes were excellent. Shane is reliable, super friendly and knowledgeable. The trip was definitely the highlight of my 7 days in Pretoria. Thanks, Shane!!!

Amazing mountain bike cycle - Picked up on time from where I was staying by Shane who is a friendly and informative tour guide. Bikes were in great condition. Initially I felt out of my comfort zone as I'm used to riding a road bike but relaxed into it and loved it. Cycling through the reserve and being so close to the animals was amazing! Cycling the Cradle with Shane was one of my favourite experiences during my holiday to South Africa.

Pedaling while game viewing - A nice relaxed ride and some game viewing en route made for a pleasant morning out. I was expecting a longer ride of at least 30-35 km. An easy outing and no cycling expertise required.
