ATV Action Tours presents  Southern Africa ATV Tours. Imagine yourself quading along the infamous Limpopo River. You snap a picture of a basking crocodile or hippo, then throw your leg back over your ATV and gun off toward the blood-red sunset. Do you still remember the snow and ice at home? How about 4-wheeling along the windswept grass-covered ridges of the Transkei Wild Coast? Or organizing an expedition across the veld of Mozambique? Want to do that? We can help.

ATV Action Tours has partnered with a superb ATV tour operator in South Africa to be the only North American company to offer Quad bike tours in South Africa. These tours are first rate. Everything but your bar bill is included from the time your flight touches down in Johannesburg until you are back at the airport.

For 2008-2009 these tours are by custom arrangement only. Get 9 to 15 people together and we can arrange a two or thee week custom ATV tour in South Africa.

 The tours are small in size and can include both American and South African riders so you can make some international friendships. Depending on the specific requests and  itinerary. you stay in resort lodges or Safari camp in cabin tents. There is limited ride-along seating, so if you have that special someone who wants to participate but not ride an ATV, we can arrange it.

These are the  finest exclusive small-group, everything-included, Quad Adventures anywhere. And as an added bonus: South Africa is in the Southern Hemisphere which means the seasons are opposite the North American seasons, Summer is in Nov-Feb. Leave the snow in the US and ride in the summer in Africa!!!!

It takes two travel days from the US to J'burg. You depart on Saturday to arrive on Sunday for these tours. The hotel Sunday night is included in the tour. The tour starts from the hotel parking lot on Monday morning.
