Pangea Rally

South Africa’s greatest long-distance motorcycle rally across the Western Cape, from the Atlantic to the Indian Ocean.

The Pangea Rally is South Africa’s 2,100 km motorcycle rally spanning the ancient Cape Fold Mountains, a range more than 330 million years old and among the oldest on Earth. Long before the Alps or Rockies rose, these mountains shaped the southern edge of Africa, linking the Atlantic Ocean to the Karoo and beyond. Twisted, weathered, and magnificent, they set the stage for one of the continent’s most extraordinary motorcycle adventures.

Ride across South Africa’s Western Cape, from the Atlantic Ocean to the Indian Ocean, through the wild heart of the Cape Fold Mountains. Experience every landscape in one journey, dramatic peaks, open desert, and sweeping coastal roads.

This is more than a ride. It’s a 2,100 km motorcycle rally through one of the oldest mountain chains on Earth.

BEYOND THE RIDE. BEYOND THE MAP.

The Rally Experience

The Pangea Rally is South Africa’s premier long-distance motorcycle rally. It begins with an optional Prologue Ride on arrival day, followed by an epic 2,100 km journey over 6 days, crossing from the Atlantic Ocean to the Indian Ocean and back.

Starting at the foot of Cape Town’s iconic Table Mountain, the route arcs across the Western Cape, from crashing Atlantic shores through ancient mountain ranges, high-altitude passes, desert tracks, and lush coastal forests, culminating in the Cape Winelands.

Crossing more than 22 mountain passes and reaching altitudes over 1,500 metres, the rally traverses wild, raw terrain that has remained unchanged for millennia. Riding here is not just a thrill, it’s a privilege.

Motorcycles Welcome

Open to motorcycles fit for adventure: scramblers, modern classics, and adventure bikes. If it can handle distance, dirt, and has vaguely knobbly tyres, it’s welcome.

The Journey

The adventure unfolds over six carefully curated stages, each bringing new terrain, stories, and challenges. Scout marshals ride ahead to ensure safe passage, while backup support (including medics, mechanics, and recovery teams) is always near but never intrusive.

Rider Comfort
At the end of each day, riders regroup in comfort and recharge for the next ride. Gear is transported ahead, and every rider receives a custom Pangea Rally Pack, which includes:
- A rally jersey
- Hydration pack

- Rally Numbers
- A rugged waterproof hold-all

Accommodation is provided in luxury canvas rally camps, featuring twin-share tents with two single beds, quality linen, and chef-prepared meals rooted in South African flavour.

​The Spirit of the Rally
This is not a race. It’s a journey across terrain, time, and your own limits. Ocean to ocean. Over stone, dust, and sea.
