Scenic road over the mountains down to Mossel Bay. Lots of fast sweepers. A few tight corners.

I did this ride while circumnavigating South Africa. Hardly any traffic, the Anenous pass makes things interesting, while the wide open sections are ideal for checking top speed. I saw 263 km/h on my Garmin. Some restaurants in Port Nolloth. Take a jersey, the temperature drops quite drastically as one approaches the ocean.

Cradle of Human Kind - Magalies

Gauteng > South Africa > Africa
January 17, 2011 - 4 star route rating Motorcycle Road

4.0

A nice drive through the cradle of human kind. Some nice long(ish) corners, the road is wide and open with no potholes etc. A nice short ride to Magalies.

M65 / M4 : Simons Town - Cape Point ( Lands End )

Western Cape > South Africa > Africa
August 15, 2007 - 4 star route rating Motorcycle Road

The scenery is tops, the asphalt is super and the roads are winding and hilly.
The weather was brilliant when I was there end November 2004 (blue skies and ~ 25 degrees...!).
Recommendation: Rent a large trailie so that you can go down one of the many gravel or dirt roads to the beaches if you like.
