Ranger Buck Cycle Safaris: The Ultimate Mountain Biking Adventure

An entirely new & exciting African safari experience

We offer tailor-made mountain bike cycling adventures in the African bush. Mountain bike trails through the bushveld are one of a kind! Experience true wilderness on your own mountain bike on a guided trail through untamed African bush. These are neither fast nor competitive cycling events. It allows you to explore Big Five terrain more comprehensively than during a walking trail. You can stop frequently to enjoy the ecological diversity, exploring a variety of fauna and flora throughout your trail. The Big Five are attracted by the perennial water in the drier winter months, when there are large herds of elephant and buffalo to circumnavigate. The cooler, dry months from April to September are best for cycling. However, the trails are open throughout the year.
