358km, best tackled over 4-6 days
The Karoo Crossing takes you on a 358km journey as you start – or end – your ride through Knysna, the iconic coastal town located on the edge of a vast estuary, which flows into the Indian Ocean through two giant sandstone heads.
The Karoo Crossing has its own unique charm, and every road sign that leads you to a town, whether it be by gravel or tarred road, will fill you with a deep sense of wanderlust. Journey through the Central and Klein Karoo, passing through historic towns boasting beautiful Victorian, Cape Dutch and Georgian architecture, and along winding mountain passes boasting fascinating legends. Appreciate the heritage of the Karoo told through historic rock art and engravings dating back thousands of years.
