Mountain Biking in the Marico Biosphere

Welcome to big-sky riding where the roads are rough, the views are wide, and the traffic is kudu. The Marico—South Africa’s only 4×4 Biosphere—serves up crowd-free gravel, jeep-track, rocky climbs, and river-edge singletrack that reward skill and curiosity in equal measure.

What to expect

• Terrain: red-sand doubletrack, limestone rock gardens, cattle paths, river crossings, and long rolling gravel.
• Riding styles: gravel grinders, XC loops, e-MTB friendly routes (by prior arrangement), and technical adventure rides.
• Scenery: red cliffs, spring-fed streams, lily ponds, thornveld—sunsets that stop you in your tracks.
