In Mpumalanga (“place of the rising sun”), on the escarpment of the Drakensberg mountain range is a place called Sabie. It’s a small country town nestled in a deep valley. The town is located 360 kilometers (220 miles) east of the Johannesburg International Airport and 64 kilometers (40 miles) west of the renown Kruger National Park.

Sabie is the best mountain biking destination in South Africa – it’s the ideal springboard for both novice and accomplished mountain bikers to practice this sport in a secure environment amidst breathtaking scenery.  It offers both the competitive and the casual mountain biker a wide range of expertly guided and well marked self-guided mountain bike trails. All trails are colour graded from Red (easiest) to Black (for experts).

These trails can get extremely slippery and muddy in wet conditions. “Slick” and “semi-slick” tyres are not recommended.  Ensure that you have spare tubes and a working pump before setting out. Energy drinks and food are essential to keep your strength and stamina levels up.
