Mountain biking on marked Karoo farm trails

Routes
Marked mountain bike routes run across the farm, from easy family rides to longer loops with look-out points over the valley. Every route starts at the main parking area, and you can also ride out to the rock pool and Fossil Kop.
Pick up a trail map at reception for the current routes and distances before you ride.
Plan your visit
good to know before you go
Park once, then ride
Karoo One is a big farm, so you leave the car at the parking area and ride from there. Families ride together, and the children can pedal around the farm while you relax.
You are likely to see springbok, gemsbok, zebra and red hartebeest along the way. Look-out points on the routes give you the view over the Karoo.
Bikes and gear
Bring your own bike or hire one: book at reception or the Activity Centre.
Before you go:
- Wear good shoes, a hat and sunscreen, and take a jacket.
- Take enough water and snacks.
- Charge your phone.
- Ride in groups, not alone.
- Stick to the marked trails.
River crossings
Take care at river crossings. Do not cross after rain or when the water is flowing fast. When it is dry or low, you can cross on foot or carry your bike over. Do not take a quad bike or vehicle across; use the alternate route.
