    Cycling in the Western Cape offers climbing (& descending) mountain passes, riding through semi-arid deserts and along windy coastal roads. Both the distances and level of difficulty vary day-to-day. Regardless each day starts early. Each day included some time in the van. There were times when cyclists and bikes were transferred in the truck when the roadway and shoulder looked invitingly cyclable. There also several times when the transfer backtracked over the route ridden the previous day. The quality of the accommodations varied from modern, clean and efficient to quirky and - in one case - dangerous. There was no access to laundry during the 10 days. The food options varied from sandwich picnics at the side of the road to white tablecloths. There was always water; there were snacks of fruit and sweets at breaks in the cycling journeys.

    Transportation - should have been a bigger vehicle for the amount of people. Every seat was taken and we were packed in like sardines. Better windows that slide up and down (disappear)as your going through Kruger National park. If you open one window it blocks the person behind you. Terrible for for safari in Kruger. Itinerary - Update it as monkey sanctuary was not there anymore. Start bike rides in the morning instead of driving first. Biking in the heat of the day after sitting for 4 hours is no fun. Africa is hot between 2 and 4 in the summer. Guides were excellent. Very helpful with bikes and easy to talk to.
