The Baviaanskloof 18km Farm Loop extends the 7km trail into a proper intermediate ride through the wilderness corridor. River crossings, longer gravel sections and more varied terrain add challenge and the experience of moving deeper into the Baviaanskloof landscape. The combination of rugged mountain scenery, endemic fynbos vegetation and river valley riding creates an exceptional Eastern Cape MTB experience.

What to Expect

Farm tracks and gravel roads with river crossings on flat to moderately hilly terrain. River crossings are the defining feature — shallow in dry conditions but potentially impassable after heavy rain. The riding is intermediate in effort and the setting remains extraordinary throughout. Wildlife encounters are more likely on the longer loop as the trail moves further from the camp areas.

Getting There

Access from Kareedouw via the R332 into the Baviaanskloof. GPS: -33.7234, 24.7812.
