Go to Hell It's Heaven on Earth

"All Americans should take a trip to South Africa's Mecca, The Hell, at least once in their lives, preferably on a BMW motorcycle," says German-born Jurgen Muess, proud owner of the newly launched Karoo Biking, BMW motorcycle tours and rentals in South Africa. Operating from a base in Cape Town, Karoo Biking offers the increasing number of American visitors four exquisite motorcycle tours in English. Two of the tours include an overnight stay in one of South Africa's best-kept secrets namely the Gamkaskloof valley, known as The Hell by residents of the Great Karoo. This timely launch comes as the general manager of BMW Motorrad South Africa states that there is an increasing demand for motorcycle tours in the country.



SA and the hospitable Karoo in particular, offers the 20 million American motorcycle aficionados not only the opportunity to get better acquainted with local culture but also the opportunity to push their motorbiking skills to the limit on both tarred and dirt-roads. Karoo Biking conducts its tours and offers rentals exclusively on machines from the most recent BMW motorcycle line-up to assure its clientele the best possible biking experience. Clients can also opt for a self-guided tour whereby all accommodation is booked on the client's behalf. Karoo Biking provides those interested in a self-guided tour with a tour book containing extensive directions and background information.
