Footprints & Feedback

Andre Lindeque

"I’m an e-bike rider and the Klein Karoo Kruze was built for riders like me. I cruised the climbs, soaked up the views and still had plenty of energy left for the good stuff - like the food. Every stop had something tasty and I never said no to a slice of toast with peanut butter. It was adventure with flavour, and I loved every minute."

"I live in Prince Albert, and I thought I knew the area well but this tour surprised me. It took me to places and accommodations I’d never even heard of. The riding was relaxed and scenic and the hospitality along the way was top-notch. It gave me a whole new appreciation for the Klein Karoo."

Andrew Cambell

"I’ve done a fair few rides, but the Klein Karoo Kruze was something else. The scenery was unreal, the pace was perfect and the stops along the way were a treat. I even found myself sipping a cold beer and tucking into some of the best lamb chops I’ve ever had "

George Manganas

"The Klein Karoo Kruze was a feast in every sense. The riding was beautiful, but the food really stood out. Each stop offered something memorable local flavours, good presentation and warm hospitality. As someone who enjoys cooking, I appreciated the care in every meal. It wasn’t just fuel it was part of the journey."
