Overview

Discover the charm of the old railway service road to Darling with a small dual-sport motorbike, starting from and returning to Bellville (Cape Town), during a full day guided tour.
After a short warm-up ride (30') on country roads, you will meet the first gravel road, where some skill and safety exercises are planned. Leaving the gravel, you will then ride the trail along the old railway, with a short challenging escapade into the surrounding hills, all the way to the picturesque little town of Darling.
On the way back, and although the railway road remains the guiding thread, several variations will allow you to experience some sand riding and navigate through the "fynbos" fields of the Rivelands reserve.

This 180km tour is absolutely suitable for off-road beginners (you need a valid driving license for motorcycles <35kW) and is a fantastic opportunity to discover the joy of riding in a challenging environment.
