Overberg Karoo Baviaanskloof Trek best routes

[Jaco Van Der Westhuizen]

Hi

 

I'm planning another 6 to 10 day MTB Trek with some overseas friends. I want to cycle from point A to B to C etc.

 

I've done Humansdorp to Calitzdorp to Matjiesriver into Die Hel, over Die Leer to Boschluyskloof and down Seweweekspoort. 

 

Anyone done any similar treks in the Overberg, Karoo or Baviaanskloof areas with some recommendations? As little tarmac as possible please

 

Thanks

Jaco

I've done knysna to jbay over 5 days @ 60odd km per day. Basically reverse K2C and trans baviaans.

Best to have a look at the Slingsby Swartberg & Klein Karoo topo map ( available at Cape Union Mart)  https://www.capeunionmart.co.za/map-swartberg-klein-karoo-waterproof

also some really good info here:

Great, thanks for the response. Do you perhaps have the route you did? Was it more off-road/dirt track or tarmac?

 

Thanks
