Thohoyandou is the cultural heart of the Vhavenda people — a town in the dramatically green highlands of northern Limpopo where sacred forests, the mythical Lake Fundudzi and the Venda cultural landscape create one of the most distinctive environments in South Africa. The 25km gravel ride explores the green hill country around the town through the tea gardens and cultural heritage of this remarkable region.

What to Expect

Gravel roads on moderately rolling Venda highland terrain. The green, well-watered Venda highlands — sustained by the Soutpansberg’s high rainfall — are lush and productive with tea gardens, subtropical fruit farms and sacred forest patches throughout. The cultural landscape adds depth — the Vhavenda’s sacred sites, woodcarving and pottery traditions are visible throughout the area.

Getting There

Thohoyandou in the northern Limpopo Venda highlands. GPS: -22.9523, 30.4789.
