swsup97 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Hi All, I'm looking for self catering places that cater for cyclists with MTB trails that offers nice scenery, wild game and has a pool to cool off after rides. Seen a few from googling however i would prefer going on recommendations / referrals rather than looking at a website and not knowing how it really is. Soo have any of you been to a venue that you could say was fantastic ? Let me know thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soo have any of you been to a venue that you could say was fantastic ? Let me know thx Perhaps not for a weekend away, but consider the Garden Route Trail Park in Karatara near Knysna. You can do that, as well as Harkerville over the few days you would be there. You will be hard pressed to beat that experience anywhere else in SA.

Belgarath Posted January 18, 2017 Share Apparently Karkloof is the bee's knees. I think Misty Vallety near Machadodorp is still operational, but not quite sure. There's riding on the farm itself, with Tranquilitas and Mankele nearby. Sondela near Bela Bela is also an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
River Rat Posted January 18, 2017 Share Mankele MTB park is near Sudwala caves and Sabie is close enough if you want to mix it up a bit, although the trails at Mankele more than adequate for most riders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johanpre44 Posted January 20, 2017 Share I've also been to Mankele. If you want to save lots of money you can also camp. Some of my friends have gone camping and MTBing in Sabie before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henningvr Posted January 20, 2017 Share Check out Tranquilitas as well - http://tranquilitas.com/ Nice facilities (including a pool), and most excellent trails. I am biased because I live here, but most people really like it. Check out the route info here: http://tranquilitas.com/mountain_biking.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Izintaba Posted February 9, 2017 Share Hi, Izintaba Game Farm in the Waterberg is fantastic for MTB, I am a bit biased because it is my farm, but I am sure it is exactly what you are looking for. Only 3 hrs from JHB. There is nothing too technical, but just being able to ride in the bush with relatively tame game and some single track.....have a look at the website www.izintabalodge.co.za YoYo-Smileyguy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
