DAY 1: The arrival in Johannesburg 

DAY 2: From Joburg to the Misty Mountains

DAY 3: Towards Kruger national park

The day ends on the gate of Kruger park. Already from the hotel bar you get the chance to see some animals on the other side of the fence and you have to watch your things because monkeys are siting in the trees waiting for a opportunity to grab some food or other things.

DAY 4: The rest day in Kruger national park

Well it is called a "rest day". Anyway we wake up at 5 am to go for a safari ride. We get rewarded for our ambitious start into the day by seeing all the big 5. At least some of us say they saw the last, most difficult one, the leopart.

Day 5: From Kruger to Swaziland

We had to leave Kruger again, but a beautiful day lay ahead of us. Swaziland was the destination today, a beautiful country with incredible scenery!

Day 6: Swaziland to Mkuze

After a night in the wonderful Ezulwini valley, we continued our exploration of Swaziland. Our first stop took us to the famous Swazi candle factory. After many more twisty kilometers through the mountains of Swaziland we reached the border to South Africa again. Lunch in Piet Retief, and then we continued into the land of the Zulus.

Day 7: Mkuze to Shakaland

Like every day in South Africa this day had something new for us: the Indian Ocean! We visited the beach, had a great lunch and then continued deeper into Swaziland. We spend the night in an old Zulu village - exciting!!

DAY 8: Shakaland to Hilton

DAY 9: Along Lesotho border

Day 10: The Indian Ocean!

Today we left the Transkei and continued south. As we have some Germans in our group, we had to do the mandatory stop at the German Settler Monument in East London aka Buffalo City. And then we headed to the next big highlight of this motorcycle tour through South Africa: our hotel on the shore of the Indian Ocean!

DAY 11: Along the coast to Port Elizabeth

Well just that we didn´t bring our rain gear for nothing it rained all day long. Because noone wants to see us riding in the rain we don´t have pictures of this day.

DAY 12: The day of big jumps and ostriches

DAY 13: Going off-road

DAY 14: Cape Town we are coming!!!

We are really lucky during our tour.  As mentioned before we have seen all the big 5 and the last riding day we get to see whales and Pinguines as well.  

DAY 15: Cape of good hope

On our last day we do a day trip to the famous cape of good hope. We have luck and the weather is beatiful. To make the day perfect Tabo whaits for us on the beach with another picnic and in the afternoon with a boot beer at the hotel.
