#1 Epic Mountain Passes of South Africa: Adventures on Two Wheels and Four
--:--
Episode 1: Exploring the Eastern Cape Highlands – Swartberg & Baviaanskloof on BMW GS Adventure Motorcycles
Show Notes:
In this episode, I kick off our exciting journey through some of South Africa’s most breathtaking mountain passes. I’m thrilled to introduce you to Hermann Kistner, a seasoned adventure rider with a wealth of knowledge about the hidden backroads of the Eastern Cape, and Joe Ludemann, a fellow adventurer with a love for epic rides.
When I heard about their trip to tackle the challenging Swartberg and Baviaanskloof passes on BMW GS Adventure motorbikes, I knew I had to tag along—FOMO (fear of missing out) is real! Although I don’t ride an adventure bike, my trusty Toyota 4x4 was the perfect companion for the rugged terrain.
Join us as we navigate the scenic and sometimes nerve-wracking trails of the Eastern Cape Highlands. In this episode, you’ll get to know Hermann and Joe, hear about their experience with adventure riding, and learn about the unique beauty of this region. This is just the start of an epic journey across South Africa’s mountain passes, so buckle up and subscribe for the next episodes!
