What follows is the account of four of the finest days I’ve spent on a motorcycle in this country. It is not a beginner route. Parts of it will challenge you. Parts of it will genuinely humble you. But if you’re on a capable adventure bike, you’ve got the right tyres fitted and you’re prepared to be properly remote for stretches of Day 2, it will deliver something that very few routes in Southern Africa can match: sustained, uninterrupted wilderness riding through a UNESCO World Heritage landscape that most South Africans have never seen from two wheels.
