Horizon MTB—Cycle Mashatu offers a journey like no other; come join us for the ultimate African MTB safari experience. Our guides are passionate cyclists and specialist field guides who will go out of their way to ensure you have an extraordinary biking holiday experience. Catering for mixed groups, the pace, routes, and distances are tailored to suit individual fitness levels and riding ability.
The rides cover the vast Mashatu Game Reserve, known as the ‘Land of the Giants’. This semi-arid landscape, bisected by numerous rivers and flanked by the mighty Limpopo, is famed for its density of elephants, gigantic Baobab trees, impressive rock formations and unsurpassed big cat sightings. Given free rein to cycle across the entire reserve, and using three or more beautifully appointed camps, we are able to tailor each cycling holiday to the needs and ambitions of the group.
Technical difficulty: Moderate
Distances: Between 20 and 50 km a day. A relaxed group will cover about 25km to 30km on a morning ride, with an elevation gain of 100 metres. More advanced riders might cover up to 50km with an elevation
gain of up to 150 meters. The aim is to ride 3-5 hours per day at an easy going pace with regular game sightings, and a mid-morning picnic stop, the guides will pace the ride to suit the abilities of the riders.
Guides: All cyclists are fully guided by local professional guides armed with rifles.
