Namakwaland on a bicycle: Stop and smell the flowers

Explore the flowers on a bicycle tour

We love a success story… And recently we’ve been sending more and more bicycles up towards Springbok, Okiep, Nbabeep and Namakwaland for the sublime flower bicycle tours presented by Trisport. Founders Hano and Sonja Otto must have a winning recipe here, as we are collecting bicycles from all over South Africa and sending them to the Northern Cape for flower season. And everyone comes back with a smile and only good things to say about the tours.

Having grown up in Clanwilliam during primary school years, I have a soft spot for that valley and absolutely love every opportunity we have to cycle in that part of the world. oh, and don’t be fooled, when you’re cycling on the N7 from Citrusdal to Clanwilliam there’s a fair amount of climbing, even more so than when coming from Piketberg up the Piekenierskloof pass. Spring time and flowers lead into summer, sun, citrus and fun. Go and explore it for yourself. Or better yet, book a tour with Trisport. Did you know they also have a Kalahari MTB Traverse?

Expect to be greeted with infectious smiles and warm hearts, as you embark on unforgettable journeys that will forge lifelong friendships. But don’t take my or our word for it, see for yourself.

You can also follow Sonja’s blog detailing many of their excursions and adventures, all the way from the Garden route through the Karoo and towards Namibia. How about that historic MTB ride, the Namaqua Copper Trail. PS, Did you know the Namaqua Quest is 10 years old this year?
