Greetings riders

We are delighted to be able to invite you on this trip of a lifetime to South Africa to ride on some of the most legendary single track in the world, set in incredible sceneries and landscapes.

Whilst we wish you an amazing experience, lets not forget how each and everyone of us can make an impact in the lives of those less fortunate than us. Our mission is to make a social impact from every expedition we put together.

As part of this impact, we will be contributing some of your costs to much needed change in Africa, through social impact investing in vital enterprise development and job creation for the impoverished wilderness communities that live around the protected area national parks and reserves in South Africa

We face a pivotal challenge: protecting and preserving the world’s remaining biodiversity, endangered species, and wilderness areas. Addressing this requires a fresh, community-centered, socio-economic approach that is nature-positive, sustainable, and driven by innovative strategies and skills.

With a deep passion for rewilding and community conservation, I aim to leverage my expertise in Property Development, Hospitality, and Consumer Marketing in Southern Africa to foster collaboration among diverse stakeholders. Together, we can empower Africa’s wilderness communities to restore and safeguard the continent’s remaining natural landscapes.

I am dedicated to actively contributing to the development of a sustainable and resilient African and Global Conservation Economy.

Join me on a tailored Impact Travel experience through Orbis Social Impact Investment Expeditions, or reach out to explore opportunities to invest or partner with us. Your support will help fund transformative socio economic - nature balanced community programs across Africa.

About your itinerary

Begin your South African adventure with a night in Cape Town, one of the world's most breathtaking cities, where the iconic Table Mountain and the meeting of two oceans set a dramatic stage for the journey ahead. From here, clip in and take on four exhilarating days of mountain biking through the legendary Cape Epic route, widely regarded as the toughest mountain bike stage race on earth, weaving through the rugged landscapes of the Western Cape and the rolling, vine-covered hills of Stellenbosch. Expect technical singletrack, sun-baked fire roads, sweeping valley panoramas, and the warm hospitality that makes this corner of South Africa so unforgettable. Whether you're a seasoned cyclist or an adventurous rider, these trails will challenge and inspire in equal measure.

The expedition then shifts pace entirely as you fly north to KwaZulu-Natal for four nights of immersive big-five wildlife safari. Two nights at the intimate and superbly positioned Mavela Game Lodge place you deep in the heart of the Zululand bushveld, with game drives revealing elephant, lion, rhino and more against a backdrop of wild thornveld. Continue to the award-winning Babanango Valley Lodge, set within a sweeping private reserve of highland wilderness, where outstanding guiding and luxurious comfort combine beautifully.

The journey concludes on a profound note with a visit to the Loziba rewilding project , a pioneering conservation initiative restoring native wildlife to ancestral lands and offering rare insight into the future of African conservation.

Woven throughout, this expedition is as much an inner journey as an outward one, pushing physical limits, immersing in raw wilderness, and creating the rare conditions in which you are invited to reassess who you are, how you live, and what truly matters.
