If ever there was an ideal place for mountain biking it’s Gecko Rock private game reserve just outside Touws River.
With more than 40 km of trails on the reserve, comprising gravel road, jeep track and spectacular single tracks awaiting enthusiasts, this is a must-ride for mountain bikers.
Outside the reserve in the direction of Touws River or Montagu awaits a network of broad gravel roads. One can ride for hours without seeing a car, and even then an approaching car can be heard for 10 minutes in the stillness of the Karoo.
Mountain biking is a must-do activity at Gecko Rock, even if you just bring the bikes along for a social ride on a camping weekend. Routes follow centuries-old game paths and horse trails and provide a scenic and sometimes challenging outing.
Trails are well marked in relation to difficulty and those not wanting a hard ride will have no trouble in easily following the “green routes”.
Whatever your level of cycling skill you will treasure your memories of a Gecko Park biking weekend. Campers have full access to all routes at no extra cost.
