Quadbiking is a very popular sport for locals and tourists alike in South Africa. Challenging trails are laid out all over the country and guides are available for less experienced drivers. It is one of the more entertaining and exciting ways of experiencing the great outdoors, so climb on your ride and see what quad biking in South Africa has to offer.

Oudtshoorn, a town in the Little Karoo in the Western Cape, has several operators who will lead less experienced drivers through mountain passes, dry river beds and on multi-day excursions if your time and experience allows. Some incorporate game viewing where the animals are used to the sounds of the quads, or combine drives with other popular adventure activities like abseiling.

The Drakensberg Mountain range in Kwa-Zulu Natal is also one of the best places in the country to go quad biking. The areas surrounding the towns of Underberg and Winterton have several lodges and operators with quad bikes on hand, and tours are available through the spectacular Sani Pass, the third highest gravel road in the world. Trails can also take you into Lesotho for a truly unique experience.

The area around Gordon's Bay, a small town on the other side of False Bay from Cape Town, is an ideal location for quad biking. Several operators conduct tours through the mountainous terrain, and obstacle courses are available to hone you skills before tackling longer and more difficult trails.

Other prime quad biking locations in the country include: Citrusdal, Cape Town, Hazyview, Mossel Bay, Montagu, Pilgrim's Rest, Parys and Sabie.
