From recce to ritual
From recce to ritual
Karoogravel started with recce rides — raw, real, and unforgettable. Those early tours were about discovery: scouting lines, embracing uncertainty and learning to work with the Karoo rather than against it.
In 2026, the adventure continues. Expect long days, wild terrain and moments that test adaptability and teamwork. A few hiccups? Probably. A challenge or two? Definitely. That’s still part of the ride.
Ride the Karoo, your way
Ride the Karoo, your way
We design tailored gravel tours for international riders and private groups, whether that means longer or shorter days, deeper exploration, or a route built entirely around your goals.
