Touring the African continent on a motorcycle already gets my heart racing just hearing about it, as someone who loves to travel. Riding around Cape Town guided by a local host adds even more depth to the flavor. The closing line, 'we've only scratched the surface,' has the depth of that land bleeding through it, and it makes me want to ride there myself someday too.

Wonder what the riding environment and road infrastructure are actually like in South Africa.

Urban areas are relatively well-maintained, but I'd imagine road conditions vary a lot more out in the suburbs.

Curious about the actual mileage covered over three weeks.

Kruger Mpumalanga isn't an airport name I've heard before — where is it exactly?

That was an airport in northeastern South Africa, near Kruger National Park.

A safe trip like this really depends on having a local host guiding you — going alone with no plan sounds a bit scary.

For touring abroad, pairing up with someone who knows the area is the safest and smartest way to go.

A three-week trip probably wasn't a full cross-country run, but they likely got to fully soak in the Cape Town area.

Reading a touring column about the African continent makes me want to ride there myself someday.
