We’ve been biking around South Africa for over ten years, and somehow it amazes us whenever we go back. With coastal roads seemingly made for cycling, world-class wines, two nights at a secluded Relais & Châteaux property and enough stirring landscapes to fill several photo albums, it squarely hits every B&R hot button. Add in face-time with penguins, top-rated restaurants and the chance to go sea-kayaking in search of whales and things get even more sublime. Orchard walks and vineyard rides in Franschhoek Valley? Brilliant. The view from your room at Walker Bay? Flawless. Whale-watching from the fishing community of Hermanus? Incredible. Adjectives? Sorry, we’re fresh out.

Cycle through the Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve, watching for antelope, eland and baboons
