Ambassador
154 mi.
12,841 ft.

An adventure so far off the beaten path that only a few have dared to undertake it. While not for the faint of heart, the rewards are well worth the journey. The route takes you deep into the semi desert region of Klein Karoo to one of the most secluded valleys in South Africa, Die Hel.

Located near Simon’s Town (+50kms from Cape Town central) lies the secluded beachside campsite of Miller’s Point, one of my favourite destinations for an overnight microadventure. Cycle through some of Cape Town's most magnificent coastal scenery. Go to sleep to the sounds of the Indian Ocean and wake up to golden shades of dawn and a dip in the bay. Catch a glimpse of seals and penguins. Fuel up at one of the local cafe´s on the way back. (less)
