Personal

Travel Insurances
Although it's not pleasant to think about, it is something that unfortunately needs to be addressed. What would happen in case of emergency? We would like to minimize the risk by strongly recommending a insurance package that includes:

o Trip cancellation insurance

o Travel medical cover

o Accidental death cover

Protective Gear
Climatic conditions in Southern Africa are generally warm, but we do recommend that full rider gear is worn at all times. Owing to the very personal nature of this gear, riders are urged to bring their own gear with them. A limited number of helmets, gloves and jackets are available for rent.

Cape Motorcycle Tours:  Scheduled to run between November and March each year. Weather conditions favour motorcycle travel that time of the year in South Africa. You will still get the odd rain shower or cool evening and some wind, but mostly good weather.
