Guided by rangers

M&G Tour de Addo riders, meander on their mountain bikes, through parts of Big Reserves that are usually off limits to the general public. While in the park, the group is kept together, under the watchful eye of our SANParks rangers.

Limited group size

In an effort to not dilute anyone’s experience, each tour is limited to just 30 riders. We are dealing with wild animals that get spooked easily, less people means less noise and the more chance of viewing the mighty Big 5.

Gerbrand Breed

Tour de Addo 2022.

An absolutely mind-blowing experience! Riding through “big-5” country and having a chance to experience areas of Addo that no-one else can visit was such a thrill! The small group means you really bond with your fellow riders, and end up with a bunch of new, like-minded friends.

The riding offers enough of a challenge to make it a proper workout for your “run-of-the-mill” weekend-warrior, whilst the option of using an e-bike makes it accessible to anyone else. Definitely worth it!

Most amazing event!

Such a privilege to be able to cycle in these pristine and exclusive wilderness areas which is super well organised by Red Cherry Events. Both camps were great set in wilderness surroundings. Facilities were everything you could want and the catering was fantastic.

Definitely consider going again and also other Red Cherry events.

Thanks Red Cherry Team for a wonderful experience.

Despite the weather challenges, you and the Honory Rangers made it an unforgettable event. Worth the 1200 km drive from Johannesburg. Met a group of special people and look forward to doing it again in the future. Loved being so close to nature and the giants.

Thank you!

I arrived with the expectation to enjoy nature and some cycling.

What I found were immense support including airport transport, fixing my bike, patience to wait for me after long uphills, a little push from time to time, meeting like-minded people, lovely fireside discussions, loads of laughter and good nights’ rests.

Honourary Rangers – you rock!
Paramedics – you created a safety blanket
Mike and Shaun – your vision inspires
