Event Name: JOURNEYS WITH GERALD - MATOBO HILLS ADVENTURE 2025
When: 12/06/2025 - 18/06/2025
Where: Matobo Hills, Fort Usher,
Category: Mountain Bike

I invite you to join me in one of the most interesting places to ride your bike imaginable. This is a 6 day adventure amongst the iconic granite domes (dwalas) of the Matobo Hills combining spectacular riding, amazing scenery, unique flora & fauna, rock art and local culture plus a dose of local history fro San times to the present!

In keeping with the Journeys with Gerald philosophy of experiencing more than ‘just the ride’, the 2025 Matobo Hills Adventure actually starts with and evening in the iconic Bulawayo Club which oozes history. The next day a quick visit to Khami Ruins provides more ancient history before we ride from Bulawayo to Dwala Conservancy in the East Matobo Hills.

their bikes to and from the tour. Air flights from SA allow bikes, but there are restrictions on e-bikes, so participants must
