My name is Nicholas Van den Berg, and I'd like to introduce you to the experience of touring Southern Africa by motorcycle! I specialize in leading guided, countrywide tarred-road motorcycle tours into and around South Africa. Anyone riding a road-legal motorcycle of any make or model, privately-owned or rented, is most welcome to join a tour.

Special offer: 10% off all tour rates for all motorcycle clubs, corporate customers and groups of eight or more (conditions apply - please contact me for details. Discount does not cover bike hire costs.)

• The 3-day Southwestern Breakaway (taking you into the wild expanses of the Free State and Northwest Province)
• The 4-day Great North-Easter (spiriting you on a breathtaking loop from Gauteng to Mpumalanga via Limpopo and the Northwest Province)
• 5-day, and premier 6-day versions of the KwaZulu Odyssey (Gauteng to the far Southern and far Northern KwaZulu Natal via the Free State and Mpumalanga.)
• I'm planning more tours along the Route 62 stretch of the Eastern and Western Cape (eight days) as well as an "Iron Butt" Africa Heritage tour over thirteen days, for the third quarter of 2007, as well as cross-border tours into Namibia, Botswana and Mozambique.

What is Atreus CrossTours?

The man and bike on the left!... I run a company whose small size gives itself and it's customers the advantage of the best all-round touring experience at the most competitive rates available. For more information on what makes this happen and how, please click here.

So, what do I need to join a tour?

I've put together a section answering the touring questions I get asked most often. To read up on how you may want to prepare for a tour, please click here. Alternatively, you may want to E-mail or speak to me. Please feel free to do so!

But I don't own a bike!...

As the Aussies say: no worries! For those who are in the country for a short while, or do not own a motorcycle, I offer the option of hiring late-model, expertly-prepared BMWs and Harley-Davidsons at preferential rates through my motorcycle hire partners. Please click here for more information on the selection of available motorcycles.

I think my ride needs a little attention first...

I can also offer a mechanical check-over service and referrals to quality repair shops for your bike prior to tours. If your bike's in need of some T.L.C. or you'd like some tips on how to bring it to optimum condition yourself, please click here.
