Day 12 – Karoo – Oudtshorn – Ostrich farms – Braai 340 km

Oudtshorn would be just another sleepy little town nestled in the mountains were it not for its numerous large ostrich farms. While the heyday of ostrich farming is over, meat and leather production has once again become profitable for local farmers. An optional visit to one of these farms offers an interesting guided tour and insights into the modern-day uses of this unique bird. Fresh ostrich fillet is, of course, on the menu for dinner, and paired with one of the excellent local wines, it makes for a perfect evening. Overnight stay in the Oudtshorn area.

Day 13 – Route 62 – Port wine and whisky – Ronnie's Sex Shop – Diesel & Creme 335 km

This morning the journey continues along the famous Route 62. Its popularity here is comparable to America's Route 66, only a bit shorter, but just as charming. It was originally built to open up the Klein Karoo. The first stop is the Boplaas Winery with its excellent port wines and local whiskies. Along the way, you'll naturally visit the obligatory biker bars, such as Ronnie's Sex Shop or Diesel & Creme. The owners are all enthusiastic Harley® riders and always welcome bikers.

The Winelands, with its renowned towns like Robertson, Paarl, Franschhoek, and Stellenbosch, are just an hour's drive from Cape Town.
